E is for Eavesdropper - Rhymed Acrostics A to Z

Eek! Is everyone listening, or just one busybody?

Eavesdropper

Echoes of a private word

At the corner, overheard.

Violated by an ear,

Every confidence to hear.

Secrets may not still be so.

Drunkenly do rumors grow.

Rumbled scandals bear no truth,

Over-shared by slinking sleuth.

Pick your battles. Find your foes.

Play your games as no one knows.

Empathetic list’ners balk.

Richer ones reject your talk.
