Nobody Knows - I'm Not Telling Why

I sit here smug, my secret in place,
With a quiet cheesy grin upon my face.
They ask me, beg me, play I-spy, and pry —
But nope! Not me folks! I'm not telling why!

They try to read signs stuck on my lips
Unzip all my social internet blips and syncs.
To see the steely poker-face stare lurking
behind the smoke-screen tease, smirking,
Revealing a wink, a shrug, a side-glance-sigh.
But nobody knows, and I'm not telling why.
