Tabby tells

things she shouldn’t

spilling beans

she said she wouldn’t

through sealed lips

she’ll kiss and tell

Tabby is a

n’er do well..

her motor mouth

shoots rapid-fire

dishing dirt

a constant crier

a whistle that forever blows

Tabby keeps you in the know…

She unbags cat

no Schrodinger

and talks such smack

to totes strangers

she chats you up at wait for bus,

but keep an eye

Tab’s dangerous

she’ll toss you under

just because,

so if you want

to keep the peace

don’t tell Tab

she writes the beats

for gossip rags you might avoid,

because of course,

Tab’s a Tabloid.
