It's a Pretty Good Plan -- To Forget It!

If you see a tall fellow
ahead of the crowd,
A leader of men marching
fearless and proud,
And you know of a tale
whose mere telling aloud
Would cause this proud head
to in anguish be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it!

If you know of a skeleton
hidden away
In a closet,
and guarded
and kept from the day
In the dark, whose showing,
whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow
and lifelong dismay--
It's a pretty good plan to forget it!

If you know of a spot
in the life of a friend,
(We all have such spots concealed,
world without end),
Whose touching his heartstrings
would play on and rend
Till the shame of its showing
no grieving could mend,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it!

If you know anything
that will darken the joy
Of a man or a woman,
a girl or a boy,
That will wipe out a smile
or the least way annoy
A fellow, or cause
any gladness to cloy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it!
