Gumshoe Is Glued

This poem will make the most sense if
you’ve watched the old time television series
“Get Smart.”

GUMSHOE IS GLUED

Silence -
timeless...

The cone
is prone

to make
mistakes.

Boss shares.
Max stares.

“Eh? What?”
“What? What?”

Chief groans.
Lifts cone.

Chaos -
cash loss.

Its cure -
murder.

Control -
its mole.

Oaf spy.
Boob tries.

His shoe
is glued.

Can’t call
in brawl.

His wife
saves life.

Nine-nine
is fine.

They win
Have twins.

Chaos
is boss.

David Mchattie Date: 5/8/2021 6:32:00 PM Bring on the cone of silence. Well penned. I loved that T.V. show. I used to watch it with my 24 brothers and sisters. Would you believe with my 7 brothers and sisters. Would you believe with 1 brother, no sisters and a garden mole named Petrov. Have a great day.
