SOMEBODY SAID
Somebody said that somebody said,
Trouble was caused and suspicion fed.
Somebody passed on an idle word,
Somebody repeated what somebody had heard.
There has been many a broken heart,
Many a marriage has fallen apart.
Many relationships have been changed,
Many a neighbor has been estranged.
In many a home where peace once reigned,
Affection and loyalty have been strained.
And many a life is now incomplete,
All because somebody was indiscreet.
Many a friendship has been wrecked,
Through gossip unfounded and unchecked.
Mischief was made and a rumor spread,
Because somebody said that somebody said

Thank you for showing this poem. I had a copy of it years ago and have mislaid it. I searched on the web and now I have it again. A friend of mine has just been very hurt by a couple of comments that hve been passed on to them.
