Don't tell anyone
Don't say it out loud
Keep it to yourself
Because it must be safe and sound

I hold you against your word
Don't lie to me
Don't tell anybody, please
Just listen and you'll see

You must keep it a secret
Nobody can know
Please keep it hush hush
And get down low

Shh, shh don't let anyone hear
Quick! Check behind!
Come closer, closer
Actually, never mind

This seemed really fun and silly and sing-songy to me.  Very cute!

I love the last line! Until it you are thinking that the poem is going to go a certain way and then all of a sudden the mood changes, it really gives it full impact! I can also totally relate to this, people always do the same thing to me!

I love the suspense and how in the end it's a big flop. It made me laugh because this type of stuff always happens to me. Good job (:
