Kim Rodrigues Poet Footle

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 May 8, 2021 at 6:32 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. Kim Rodrigues May 9, 2021 at 5:54 PM Now that made me laugh...lol

Judy Ball May 7, 2021 at 5:39 PM I remember that show. He was such a boob and she was the smart one. He was the man in charge and she was the woman who knew what was going on.lol Good one Kim. God Bless, JB Kim Rodrigues May 8, 2021 at 3:04 AM God bless you, Judy! Thank you :)

Caren Krutsinger May 7, 2021 at 11:46 AM I thought it was Ninety-nine, but she is fine! Kim Rodrigues May 7, 2021 at 5:36 PM My way of saying ninety nine but keeping to two syllables.
