A Snoop In the House

A Snoop In the House

By Elton Camp

No search warrant does he need
The Constitution he needn’t heed

He’s learned the sneakiest way
Our right to privacy to betray

He’s learned every slimy trick
To be as all-knowing as St. Nick

Whether we’re asleep or awake
A clandestine look he can take

As a government agent always should
He knows if we’ve been bad or good

Phone calls, texts and our e-mail, too
He knows everything that we do

But his motives are altogether pure
To foil terrorists he wants to be sure

No wrong use will we ever see
We have Uncle Sam’s guarantee

Therefore, it must be this way
Our trust he’d never betray
