RDP Tuesday: observant

Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
 to get creative with the word “observant”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.

A detective who’s highly observant
Is never a dull-witted servant
He finds every clue
From a hair to a shoe
With a focus both sharp and quite fervent

This is “Watching the Detectives” by Elvis Costello

Everything on The Elephant’s Trunk was created by me, unless otherwise indicated. If there’s something you would like to use, ask me; if I think it’s appropriate, I will usually agree. Thanks for your consideration. NAR©2017-present.
