A Secret
I have a secret, I shall not share.
It's about a tattoo I have ... somewhere.
I only got it because of a dare.
You'll never see it... unless I go bare.
The tattoo artist had such flair.
I chose the location with some care.
Luckily I'm not shy, I'm sure you're aware.
I laughed when he said keep it covered and out of the air.
It stands out brightly on my skin so fair.
Maybe I'll get another, have a matching pair.
I'll bet right now you're trying to guess where
but the chances of you seeing it are very, very rare.
