the magnifying glass ode

Those clues won't find themselves

By Novel AllenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Q

immersed in my 'hidden object' game

trying to find those darned elusive shifty pieces

scrunching up my eyes

i am already half blind, mind you

no luck, and time is fast running out

time to pull a Sherlock on your arse

I reach for my trusty magnifying glass

always ready to arrest that elusive perp

you can't hide, mags will find you

up to my face the tiny rounded magnifier hops

no one hides from my magnifying glass

yes! found em, i shout after a few secs

what did i just say?

about the attributes of my tiny magnified eyes

no one or thing hides from you

my trusty magnifying glass.....
