It's a pretty good plan to forget it.

An Excerpt from Forgive Me I'm Human - Dr Carl Stevens

If you see a tall fellow ahead of the crowd,
A leader of music, marching fearlessly and proud,
And know you know of a tale whose mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud heart 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 spots concealed, world without end)
Whose touching his heartstrings would play or rend,
Till shame of its showing no grieving could mend,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.

If you know of a thing 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.
