Once there was a slimeball,
Who went by the name of Fred,
He stayed up half the night,
Inventing gossip in his bed.

His tongue was just so nasty,
He filled everyone with dread,
Now one thing was for certain,
You never forgot a word he said.

People finally grew so tired,
They just wanted that man dead,
The judge agreed right quickly,
And that villain lost his head.

Apparently, the village people realized that death by guillotine would be the only way to permanently stop Fred's ever-wagging, gossiping tongue. :)

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."


"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."
