Do Not Bear Witness ...

... to what's not your business.

It's one of those nights

When you hold your tongue

Tighter than a serpent's bung

To not be the tattle-tail

That gets its tail wrung

It's one of those nights

When you hold your tongue

Lest it gets you stung

Oh, I have bitten my tongue so many times that I believe there is a hole in it. No one wants to be a tattletale, but sometimes the information is just too good to keep quiet! :) Good rhyming, Jim. Lydi**
