Poetry: Secrets

by Matthew Olsen

Created on: November 10, 2008   Last Updated: August 20, 2011

Frank, you have a secret?
Everyone, gather round.
These are the juicy details,
that no one else knows in town.

Frank just went and got them,
he paid a price you see.
To carry this great secret,
just to tell you and me.

What Frank paid I'll tell you,
about his restless nights.
Of his heated arguments
that almost became fights.

He tangled with his in-laws,
and then kept it from his wife.
Our dear Frank even,
had an attempt upon his life.

Now what is the secret Frank?
The one you got for us?
The money that we could get,
it might easily fill a bus.

Whats that you said? It couldn't be,
this is what you kept from me?
You told the secret already?
Now why did you do that?
