This Tongue of Mine (Posted on 2005-08-05) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A naughty tongue shot at the SUN,
hit 2 birds, and brought down 1.
The secret the world would beg to know,
will always, always bring someone low.
What is it?

Some Thoughts Things that make you go hmmmm | Comment 1 of 28

Slander or gossip, comes to mind.  But it seems both too obvious and a stretch.

Naughty tongue = slander or gossip

SUN = the british tabloid?

Hit 2 birds - Arguably hurts the gossipper, but brings down the gossippee

The secret = the truth, which, if revealed, hurts the gossipper if the gossip was not true, or the gossippee if it was
