A story told
is retold
year-long it goes
from ear to ear it goes
add ups are too many
left outs are very many
it turns sweet at times
becomes sour at times
loses its originality
reads as though new
a different tale in lieu.
Tag: told
That Is Never Told.
Now let this be with you
something that I want to tell ou
no others need know
as it is something between you and me.
Oh! do not get awed by my secret
as it is something very confidential
let it be within you
no need to divulge it to anyone.
Oh! my friend be very taciturn
never let this out at any cost
as it is between you and me
if told it loses its credibility.
That being what makes a secret
that which holds you in quest
my friend be very quiet
that be the best reward on the go.
My friend, keep it within yourself
as you walk people would ask
never open your mouth about this
as it would force you to let this out.
By the way , my friend
I forgot what
I wanted to tell you
I would come back once I get it
till then be sober and sullen.
