My Brother Spies a Princess
when she walks, it looks like gliding or skating, or dancing.
Her skirt has a little flipping motion, yet it is not prancing.
She must be a princess I tell my father and mother.
They are not as impressed, but then I note my brother.
His brown eyes are following her all over the place.
He begins walking a bit

Ring Camera Spies
See them gather around you, observing everything that you do, see them on top of the tree, listening to your heart beat and measuring your speech.
See them sitting underneath the tree talking about your destiny, The wire is running around you and a pudding pan is sitting next to the door and the sharks

Watching Love Affairs Like Spies
Folks watching love affairs like spies,
All the scenes picked: sugared pies.
They capture the whole truth through lies,
Before the end of it truth flies!
But wait: why? Again, I ask 'why?'
The thought wisdom in it Big lie.
We all should Decency Routes ply.
To look one's judge straight in the eye.
Why would an adult risk a pry,
From a sage

Brolley Hit
Brolley Hit
Give me something small
No big bomb or aircraft carrier needed
A little virus on the tip of a pin
Ready to inject you viral death
Not fall down dead a few days
Starts with a fever then more
Doctor thinks it’s a cold or flu
It's a bit more serious but shhh!
Don't alert the authorities
Before the operative escapes
Another KGB hit

Fear of Big Brother
Only the top Air Force and Navy brass
Know of our treaty with alien planets
Authorized by Eisenhower to capture and study humans
As payment for sharing their advanced technology with the USA
Shelly stopped typing and stared at her paragraph
Would Big Brother censor her if she shared it?
Would they eliminate her and her family?
Two hours later a SWAT

Crap Job
Crap Job
I’m endlessly told be grateful you’ve got a job
But I’d love to pick another slave to do it
So they can experience the bull I do
And feel the way I do about this crap
Day in day out on and on like a joy ride
But there’s no fun here just stress and crap
The job is classified

Rahab the Harlot
Who would have thought that scarlet thread would save you,
hung from your window ledge close by our harlot bed.
You own that Inn, built into Jericho’s thick and stone built wall.
Who would have thought the God you feared,
with army’s last triumphant trumpet blast,
would cause that wall to fall.
That same windowed wall shows

The super spies of TV are amazing
They know how to use every weapon in sight
What they do to each other looks like hazing
And their fantastic car chases are a delight

China Spies and Lies
China Spies and Lies
Concentration camps in the north
disappearing book sellers in the south
Chinese spies hunt one and all
Army of thieves , worldwide
Zhao Ziyang, where is he?
erased from Chinese history
where is the brave young man
who battled one thousand tanks?
Xu Jiatun, where is he?
erased from Chinese history
truth has no play in China today
only death and propaganda reign

Two Spies Meet
Two Spies Meet - May 6, 2018
“Tonight we rendezvous by the gallivanting roses,”
Said she with a Français hypnosis.
With a head a’shakin’ like a dog,
I acquiesce with her request.
But was I blind to the consequences?
Before I could protest,
Away was she with finesse.
Overcome I was with a gnawing stress!

We Hid In the Cottonwood Tree
We hid in the cottonwood tree’s magic treehouse.
Spying on our neighbors.
Laughter rang out occasionally from the windows of some of their houses.
We clutched our stomachs and laughed.
Mr. Pete gave his wife a big hug at their house.
We all went, Oh, yucky!
We were eleven, and loved the height of our tree mansion.
Feeling like detectives, or FBI

Bridge of Spies
I fight for the word of law, not a governments meaning
No easy choices here just right or wrong
Its man's right to stand tall , let no other stop him
If one man is right with his thoughts , thousands can be wrong
defend that man's human rights above all
you may take my freedom ,

Spies
They are everywhere,
yet you cannot notice them.
They have blended so well
with unsuspecting public,
like a drop of ocean
in a river.
Nothing escapes their senses-
they are so keen that they
can hear their heartbeat
when everything around is loud.
They have good sight too;
they see culprits' tomorrow
before the innocent turn
to culprits....

The Twelve Spies
One of each tribe was chosen
To inspect the Promised Land.
Moses bade them to see the country,
Promised to them by God’s hand.
They took forty days to inspect
The land from South to North;
Found the soil very fertile
Large clusters of grapes brought forth.
The people of Israel listened intently and were told,
The land was filled with beauty and fertility
But
