I'll shake their hands and tip my hat Sit with them and chew the fat They want to know just where you're at, but I will never tell They want to learn more about you, but I wont tell I wont tell Let them ponder a tree that fell I wont tell I wont tell Let them search into the night while you wrap yourself in light They'll do you wrong, then grant you Rights I will never tell Search, search and Research They find themselves left in the lurch Run around Run around Sniff the air and watch the ground Musk at dusk A howling sound Race to claim the fame Cast a track, where it stood Look for hair Knock on wood Cuss a bear It's no good, when you want to make a name They want to see you, but I wont show them They want to know you, but we both know them We both know they see the earth to be in need of subjugation We both know they weigh the world down with their defecation Their tongue is always in their ear whispering, "Monarch of all species" and they cannot rest 'til all else is cleared and they can lay in their own feces Rest assured, in all our trades, I will keep the vow I made Until one year to the day after Time fades away I will never tell *** |

Ah, the very definition of loyalty! I liked this, Uriah.. and it brings to mind a silly saying I heard once long ago: "Sure, I can keep a secret! It`s the others I tell who can`t.. " haha Wonderful write ~Amaryllis |

I generally believe in being open and honest but, yes, there are times when one knows to keep something secret. I'm presently keeping a secret. It's such a heavy weight but, hey, I can do it and am doing it just like you so that's good, yes? Helen |

What a write, dear Larry! Secrets to keep can weigh heavy indeed and how often someone dies carrying with himself or herself the mysteries of their lives, leaving those who wondered with all their doubts intact. Most captivating! Love, Margherita |
