Rumors may fly, especially at the office. Why do folks tend to celebrate another's downfall? Why...

A Limericked Wail on a Gossip's Tale
"Gossip is the Devil's radio."George Harrison
(1943 - 2001)
They found him underneath his chair.
Who knows how long he waited there.
The tongues wagged wild,
As rumors riled,
With theories flying everywhere.
A chocolate wrapper in his grip
Soon silenced each and every quip.
Disaster fell,
But none could tell:
What caused the strongest one to slip?
He wouldn't plead for help serene,
The poor boy never made a scene.
They missed the point -
Not drink or joint.
He'd simply given up caffeine!

Good one! Gave me a laugh this morning, thanks!
Very cool. And love the Harrison quote. Didn't know he could be so profund!
I like it!
I find this oddly believable,having tried to give up caffeine. It was a very difficult process.
