Grimbeau

Bekka was shocked,

horror stricken

by the gossip

about the tappings.

She was after all

human and while

not a mother

a woman.

So were

Excreta Bourgeois

and Nutella Divan.

Both met a sticky end in cake and catarrh…

black and white bile,

flaccid acid wit,

tweet of brevity,

a probe is announced.

So is all untruth flogged,

like a dead horse.
