Nestlings

I write best
Close to the vest
I attest
It’s what I know 
Best

In my nest
It’s what I 
Behest 
I write best
Close to the vest

Be my guest 
I’ll unload 
My chest
Be just like
An inner inquest 

I write best
Close to the vest
Just sit tight
I’ll feed ya
The rest

I oft find myself reliving my youth
    uncovering uncomfortable truths
  about all of my foibles and most of my sins
    O, Lord! What condition my poor soul is in... 

  Whether daydreams or nightmares 
    each one gives me a scare
  I'd played life so close to the vest 
    ~ What might have been if I'd headed west
