Cheat?

What's hiding behind?
What's on the other side?

I must know now!
But I don't know where, why or how...

Can I really do this?
Or will it cause something to go amiss?

If I cheat in this way,
Will I still be allowed to play?

Or will I be disqualified?
Turned away? Pushed aside?

But no! I don't want that to happen!
I want to play, have my part in the pattern!

So I won't do it.
No, not even a bit.

I shall leave the curtain where it lays,
Hiding the answers for another day.

And so I go, I walk on by,
And join my friends and have a good time.
