If I had spoken, then maybe I could -
No, that's a fantasy, and undeserved.
I've always been a little bit reserved,
And so I could - it's simply that I would
Not. And I have often found it good
To be the man I am, so had I swerved
And changed myself, would that really have served
My own best interest? Or would it have stood
Out as a sore thumb, marking me a fool
Who changed his principles to get what he
Perhaps could not have gotten anyway,
And doing so broke every inner rule
Of proper conduct and propriety?
Best not to speak when nothing's right to say.
