The Eavesdropper: Poem by the Pesky Poet


In a world of bits and bytes so vast,
Bob and Alice, they chat so fast.
With smiles so wide, their messages flew,
Back and forth, between the two.

But in the shadows, out of sight,
Lurks sneaky Eve, in the dead of night.
With her hoodie up and glasses dark,
She tries to hear their secret spark.

Bob texts, “Hello!” and Alice replies,
Not knowing Eve is spying with her eyes.
Through walls and bushes, she tries to peek,
For any detail, small or meek.

But Bob and Alice, they laugh and play,
Encrypting their messages, keeping Eve at bay.
For while she tries to eavesdrop and pry,
Their secrets remain just between the two-oh my!

So here’s to Bob, Alice, and their clever ways,
And to Eve who listens, but her efforts don’t pay.
In this game of whispers, codes, and keys,
The joy of privacy reigns in threes.
