Conspiracy Theory-I Think Not

I'm pretty sure I know their dirty little secrets 
With Big Brother watching over me 
And what I know you know that I can't keep it
Remember this in case tomorrow I'm history 

U.F.O.' s are flying past my building
I see them wink, little men of green
It's time to foil up all my outside windows
Keep the gamma rays from infiltrating 

And of the mailman I'm more than a bit leary
Letters and bills are not all that's in the post 
A very good reason for most of today's junk mail
Is in the hiding of tiny microphones 

When I head out to the grocery, people are awful friendly
Asking how I am, checking up on me
Pretty sure every one of them is a Russian agent
With that English accent down to a tee

When l'm alone at home doing daily dishes
I often hear strange voices gurgling from the sink 
I'm always very quick to close the refrigerator 
The other day I caught the honey ham glazing back at me

And all of this because I'm privy to their secrets 
How do I know, my source's tell me so
If I told a few to you, you never would believe me
But then again there's just some things the common man should never know



I have a guy on Facebook that has gone over the edge with conspiracy theories that it borders on the absurd.
So what do I do about it? Write a poem of course! Duh!

I thought you were talking about yourself and was going to suggest, "you're not THAT important". One day I need to go through all your poems, cause you're really great! but I'm selfishly here to tell you that I have a new croc poem Croc Cradles. Aren't they cradles?
