017 • Gossips
Quite why it’s occurred is unclear
But my forehead has sprouted an ear.
The gossips may jest,
But it keeps me abreast
Of the quips they don’t want me to hear.
Is it better to know what detractors are saying about you, or to be free of the defects that catalyse their scorn? Unhappily, the more genetic modification we tolerate in our food chain, the more frequently we shall encounter such bodily aberrations.

So much to unpack here. It’s a ‘no’ to knowing for me, but there’s no use pretending such defects don’t exist (and won’t continue to materialise). Especially if I don’t come off the Wotsits…
Hi Patou,
If Wotsits were all we had to worry about, would we worry at all?
Cheers,
Rick
