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.

Thanks very much, Christian. We saw Elvis Costello in 2024 at Mohegan Sun; Daryl Hall was headlining. My husband was not at all familiar with Elvis Costello and he was prepared to be underwhelmed. As it turned out, he enjoyed Elvis much more than Daryl Hall. I like this song of his, too.
