What Big Eyes and Ears You Have
By Elton Camp
A girl called Little Red Riding Hood
Visited her grandmother like she should
It wasn’t long before she had to say
“Grandmother, you look an odd way.”
Her eyes and ears didn’t look okay
On Little Red, she intended to prey
Except it wasn’t her granny at all
‘Twas on a wolf she had paid a call
Same today with good Uncle Sam
Around him, better make like a clam
Big eyes and ears Old Unk is usin’
On communications of his choosin’
Certain key words it’s best to avoid
Lest your uncle become annoyed
Mistaken identity isn’t the case
It’s really your uncle you face
E-mail, text message, phone call
He is keeping records of ’em all
Upon a midnight knock at your door,
You find that something he did abhor
