for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 19 October 2020, scuttlebutt. It’s not really a word we use in the UK but here is my attempt, nonetheless.
Tell me, have you heard the goss?
She only went and shagged the boss!
Talk about a yearly raise,
But suddenly, he’s full of praise.
That christmas party, looking back,
Cocktail dress. alluring black,
That cheeky pout, that wicked smile,
She’s surely putting on the style.
Attack the task with greatest zeal,
That dress intended to reveal,
Treading lightly, as a thief,
Across the room, she spies the chief.
Gracefully in five-inch heels,
A gait that oozes sex appeal,
That delicately perfumed smell,
Her latest purchase, from Chanel.
She meets the boss, they’re seen to laugh,
Her golden tresses falling back,
She acts as though a blatant flirt,
But boss, of course, is not inert.
From this point they are ne’er apart,
A charming pair, and oh, so smart.
And as the music starts to flow,
They damce together, tight and slow.
The night is over, party ends,
Her attention has paid dividends,
Tripping lightly as a feather,
This newfound couple leave together.


Lol love it. It gave me a giggle 😀

Thanks. My personal preference is suggestive over explicit.

On they go, and so to bed
It’s him that gets the rise instead!

or maybe they just said goodnight?
A peck on the cheek, and then took flight?

Office romances
Usually end up bad
When one of them gets screwed
Isn’t it sad

We don’t use this word here in Aus, either, and, after checking its meaning online, your site was the first place I looked to find what you’d done with it. Good job by the way. 🙂

No, they said good night with unsaid thoughts that she could, she might, until next time then!
