I Know Your Dirty Little Secret

I Know Your Dirty Secret By Elton Camp You thought that nobody on earth knew Much less one who could prove it’s true You believed by carefully slipping around What you were doing won’t ever be found But no matter how hard you may try to sneak You never know who is taking a little peek If, with your family, the secret I should share Can you possibly think that they won’t care If it is private that you want it now to stay, Then you will have to pay and pay and pay Relax, because this writing is only a joke But I wonder how many it will make choke For there’s many who act so proper and prim However, this poem could very well fit them Few can say that their life is an open book And that anyone is welcome to take a look

I think you are right that few can say their life is an open book. Haven't we all made mistakes or been ashamed of ourselves at times? On the other hand, what if it is society that is too judgmental? There is certainly a lot of dirt on most people that is probably best left where it is? Thank you for the thought provoking poem.

Duke, When young I did a couple of things for which I could have been arrested, but it has been so long ago that the statute of limitations has run out on them. I have gotten too old to make any new indiscretions. Elton
