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

Duke Beaufort Date: 10/1/2011 9:47:00 AM 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.

I have gotten too old to make any new indiscretions. Elton
