If You Have A Penny

If you have a secret keep it to yourself.
If you tell one ferret
it falls off-the-shelf.

If you have a mission do it with a flair.
If you lose ambition
it turns to hot air.

If you have a penny share it with a friend.
If you give to many
it will never end.

If you have a monkey feed it bananas.
If you tend a junkie
it suits piranhas.

If you have a notion work it into cash.
If you drop devotion
it becomes an ash.

If you have another grant it tender care.
If you fear a smother
it serves as a snare.
