Our Secret

I’ve got a little friend That lives in the corner in our house. But I daren’t tell mummy Because my friend’s a mouse. And I daren’t tell Sarah Because she’s our cat, And if she knew about him She’d only squash him flat. And I daren’t tell my brother Because he does nasty things, When he found out about my last friend He pulled off all its legs and wings. And I DAREN’T tell daddy Because he works for Pest Control. So It’ll have to be our secret— Promise you won’t tell a soul.

A la Emily Dickinson's famous line in "I'm Nobody:" 'Shh, Don't tell...' My lips are sealed tight, Sylvia! :) gw
