A Pome - a fun thing. Do you share my secret vice?

Question

I have a secret vice.

May I whisper it to you?

Promise you won't reveal it,

No matter what I do?

Sometimes I indulge it

Three or four times in a week.

I cannot suppress my urges

As It disturbs my restful sleep.

I don't do it....obviously,

Unless I'm all alone.

Not that I'm ashamed of it,

But, if the truth were known

Folk may give me funny looks

And point a scornful finger

And I will have to scuttle by

Not staying long to linger.

Do you want to know my secret?

I know you won't pass it on.

I write Poetry on Line.....

Now all my guilt is gone!

I feel cleansed and purified

Hurrah, now I am free

And I can slip away each day

To write more poetry.

Answer 1

Hehehe you're soo funny Granny! =)

Answer 2

Awwww that is cute, I thought you were talking about masterbating!  haha  xox

Answer 3

I know a veteran of a long-ago war who writes poetry that is often published in our local papers. His fellow veterans of the American Legion are often scornful.

Recently, I said, "It is better to write a poem than to aim a gun."

No one disputed the fact in my presence. They are very polite to women.

Answer 4

That's hilarious...great rhyme and rhythm.  Your reference to Peter Bates is just too funny.

Answer 5

If that's your secret you've not worked hard enough to keep it secret!  And we are so much the better for your "vice," which brings us some times gentle laughter with its droll, tongue-in-cheek humor, and carries us aloft on others to places few of us have seen.  Thanks for it all...

Answer 6

Mock Shock Horror!!

"How very dare you?" *

You brazen hussy poet!

Revealing dirty laundry,

before long they all will know it!

That "thing" you do in private,

oh the abject shame and all!

Advertised in public

I am reeling at the gall!

Simply no refinement,

etiquette's flown out the door.

Reservement and propriety

doesn't mean much any more!

Frankly dear, I'm simply shocked

There's no words left to say

But if that's the path you've chosen...

I guess that's...quite...okay! :-)

Answer 7

Good job! Share more, please

Answer 8

A Granny with a secret is the Grand Canyon with a cover! lol  People don't whisper behind your back they just say eccentric.  To me, that is a badge of honor.  Pen on! Give us more of your vices!  

Answer 9

Just keep the smile on your face, Granny...keep them wondering...

I'm glad I'm not the only one with sleep disturbed!
