I Haven'T Got a Secret

Hey, snoop-hound, off my grass Can't you read 'No Trespass' Nothing's private anymore Not even our thoughts So alien to how we grew up to the ideals we were taught What once was kept secret is now public knowledge Getting more 'likes' than particle colliders or Coleridge

Yep, privacy is out. Nice tempo to your rhyming couplets. Bill

You’ve got it, Gershon! Love the last line too…or Coleridge…indeed we live in strange times!

I was thinking of writing 'Coolidge and Coleridge,' but many do not realize what a deep thinker and quasi-literati Coolidge actually was...

Wanna laugh?! I'm putting a selection of my short poems in my primary care physician's office this week. He goes for my stuff. (He's nuts too). So, it's the first step to -- perhaps somewhere, perhaps nowhere. C'est la vie!! Thanks, P!

So true Gershon, the only privacy we have now is when we shut the bathroom door. Spoke to soon someones knocking on my door to use the bathroom, I take that back 'gershon lol.

I do agree with you Gershon. Now things are no more the same as we have been taught to think and feel....

Everything is broadcast to the whole world in nanoseconds. Privacy? Modesty? lol. Those words may well become obsolete sooner rather than later! Cheers, gw
