You Have a Secret...Want To Bet?

Most things men do secretly in darkness Will soon be clearly revealed in daylight. His uttered private words become careless Common conversations. The deeds he recites Today in the corners of his lodgings Are shouted on every street tomorrow. The closet skeletons unearthed yield things That ordinarily wouldn’t cause sorrow. Its said, ‘loose lips sink ships‘, I deem that true. The trouble is there's not a *oddamn thing One can do as long as men resort to Antics that have harmful effects and bring Pain and humiliation caused by louts Who oft have diarrhea of the mouth.
