Intelligencer and Eggplant

Intelligencer prowled in the garden,
All sniffed and found out,
And among the green squash
He noticed unusual Eggplant.

"Eggplant, you are so mysterious,
Your color is so bright and unusual,
And your shape is so strange,
You are not like any other vegetable!"

"Intelligencer, don't worry,
I'm simple Eggplant, nothing special,
I grow here, among other vegetables,
And I'm waiting to be taken as harvest."

"No, dear Eggplant, I suspect that you
Are not just vegetable, but something more.
You're like intelligencer secretly doing your job,
And you won't let me know your secrets!"

"Intelligencer, darling, you're wrong,
I am simple Eggplant, I am not intelligencer,
I grow up here, and my task is
Give people healthy and delicious food."

So Intelligencer realized
That Eggplant was just vegetable,
And that he should not suspect everyone,
And it's better to appreciate friends,
And to trust them different secrets.
This is how Intelligencer lost his vigilance
And was recruited by Eggplant intelligence,
Now he's double agent.
