Super Spy

This poem is for Project OpenBook, a community-built children’s book. Details below.

If you could be a super spy
What gadgets would you choose?
I think I’d want some x-ray eyes
And leave-no-footprint shoes.

And how ‘bout an exploding pen
That leaves invisible notes?
Or a tiny-micro-mini sub
To dive b’low enemy boats.

I’d make myself a rocket pack
And blast through city sewers
With find-the-right-way goggles on
To pick out trick detours.

I’d have a smokescreen in my coat
Inside a little can
That I could use to make escapes
That weren’t in my plan.

Yep, if I were a super spy,
I’d be a great one, mister!
For now, I’d settle for some tips
‘Bout spying on my sister.
