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. 5/7/2021

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.

I hadn't thought about this series of TV shows in years. It was a funny show about something that should be serious. I enjoyed your interpretation of it. LOL..Sara
