The Dirty secret

Keeping someone’s secret intact with you can be a funny thing to do. Once you know it you are always eager to pass it on in a discreet way, relying on the listener not to pass it on!!

Does this happen? We know the answer😃

Here’s a story of one such incident…

Carla whispered in her ear,

“Don’t tell this to anyone, dear!!”

It is my blood and bone secret,

I know it’s tough to keep, but wrap it in a blanket.

“I will keep it warm and snug”, said Steffi,

and left the restaurant in a jiffy.

She gobbled it and kept it in her gut,

after a few days, her mind was in a rut.

That gossip monger inside was causing unrest,

She tried a lot to stomp on that godforsaken pest.

But when she met her cousin Emily,

who was close to her like her own family.

Steffi could not contain the dormant volcano,

lava came out like music from a piano.

She told Emily about Carla’s blind date,

who was stolen from her boss’s list of eight.
