I Spy

I am the nosey aunty of your street

Or that prying uncle you always meet

I want to know what's cooking at your house

Who is your mother's second cousin's spouse

I need to find who's that girl on your bike

All the people you hate and dislike

I must know when and who you will marry

To make you my neighborhood gossip quarry

I have to know your temple or mosque attendance

And dig in your past and family descendants

I must find if you earn more than my son

Or a juicy news on your "undeserved" promotion

I have to know how you can afford the car you bought

Your girly mind could not have great economic thought

I desire to know all your spicy secrets

I will unearth all your life's regrets

My mission is to gossip and share

Be jealous of your happiness and spread your despair
