Tittle-tattle

Been here for years and 

not one to "prattle"

Ya know - not keen on "tittle-tattle"

we like to keep ours noses out 

but, I see things when I am about

like, I don't think him and her are still as one

I don't quite know what either's done

They are new across the way

only came the other day

the "bizzy-body" down the road

still sticks her nose round our abode

and him who's always at his bike 

cleaning and tinkering as ya like

he is a mechanic so there it goes 

washing it with his high pressure hose

and there's the one who I can't decode 

says she hates everyone in the road

those two there -  they're retired 

tending their garden even when it's not required 

and that family with kids that always decorate 

their house each season - something I hate

and him with his flag pole without consent

flying a flag for every event

and that bloody dog - as bold as brass

barks at us every time we pass

there's the grumpy one, he always moans

there's nothing right with anything he owns

but she's alright, she's had it tough

some kind of illness - think she's had enough

Him in the corner lost his missus

I don't think it was all hugs and kisses

not really for me to say

but I saw him out, the other day!

Like I said, we keep our noses out 

it's not our business - and there's no doubt

and it's not really for me to say

but...

I myself 

I wouldn't do it that way

Nah not really!
