Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Stuff the Truth in a Drawer

       Stuff the truth in a drawer
         Sweep it under a rug

       Bury it deep underground
          Deny it’ll ever be found 

        Just when you think you’ve won
          this perilous game people play

        It slips out between sealed lips
          the consequences be what they may
