under the rug

It's where we keep
our sins and our shames,
our regrets,
secret sufferings,
weaknesses, doubts, perversions,
also fear and loathing

It's easy to do
(believe me it's true;)
you could be presentable, too

All it takes
is a denial broom,
a trap door
and a secret room

When company comes,
you serve them tea,
and your whole life
is skeleton-free
(your conscience closet
clean as can be)

Keep things light
and serve them tea;
DON'T show them
what they don't want to see

Sweep it under the rug
(easy as can be)
and you'll be happy
and conscience free

But I have to share,
incidentally,
there's one small drawback:

psychopathy
