It’s no secret
that secret
is an anagram
of terces.
It’s also no secret
that terces is secret backwards;
but, what is a secret
is the fact that terces
is the plural of terce
which is the third of the seven Canonical hours
chanted at nine a.m. by
those who do that sort of thing.
Actually, terces, isn’t a secret,
and I don’t mind who knows that –
that declaration is also no secret –
as I have openly posted it for all to read.
