Le Carré


Le Carré


Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy
Author, novelist, who am I?
5 and 6, pick up sticks
writing espionage just for kicks.
Pat-a-cake, pat-a cake baker’s man
Tell me story, adopted G-Man.
Wire tap dance, do me a twirl
Is it a mole or is it a girl?
Undercover agent in overcoat
Suave spymaster never, antidote.
A-Tisket, A-Tasket, counterintelligence
Crack the code, this is fictional irrelevance.
Named Cornwell born in the county next door
Joined the Circus and won the cold war.
Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy
George is smiling, no Goldeneye.
