A Family Affair

Started as Daddy,
Now being like a mummy;
It’s all under wraps.

Is he playing dead,
Or resting from surgery?
Family secret.

Spare your staff,
Hold your curses,
Let me take half
Of your silken purses.

I’m just a lowly citizen
With mouths to feed
By the dozen;
My reason is not greed.

Allow me to go free
Leave you to your rest
All I ask you to agree
Is to let go of that treasure chest.
