It’s all a guise,
A big surprise,
Silence Dogood, citizen.
It’s me, you see,
But not for them to know.

A game, I’ve played.
A cute charade.
I’d like to see my words arrayed
In bold print, just a hint of gossip,
All the latest news.

If my brother
Knew that it was me,
He’d edit from A-to-Z.
He’d tar and then he’d feather me,
In the center of the town!

Dogood, Silence Dogood!
I’m a Widow! I’m a Mother,
I’m a Patriot!
Dogood, Silence Dogood!
I’m a conscientious person with morality.
But best of all, it's simply me!

I’d like to make it,
On my own.
Raise a family, build a home.
Live in comfort,
Happy as a king!

I’m not rich,
But I know a lot.
I’m proud of all the things I’ve got.
I’m witty and I’m filled with passion,
Learned it all in books!

I like maps, adventure,
Sail the sea!
There’s no one else who’s quite like me.
I’m bold, I’m gentle as a lamb!
Want to taste the spice of life!

Dogood, Silence Dogood!
I’m vivacious! I’m romantic!
I’m a bird in flight!
Dogood, Silence Dogood!
I’m a writer! I’m a poet with vitality!
But best of all, I’m simply me!
