E AND GREEN BETTY

My friend Mr. E was a POI,
A person of interest, maybe a spy,
He spoke fluent Yeti,
Dated his secretary, Green Betty, 
Almost everything that he said was a lie.

Mr. E's secretary always wore green,
She matched the wallpaper and was seldom seen,
What she overheard, 
She recalled word for word,
Mr. E didn't need a recording machine.

Mr. E vanished shortly after the war,
Some say his enemies just evened a score,
The police found blood and makeup on his bedroom door,
And, one red-stained handkerchief on his living room floor,
The red stain turned out to be wine, just wine, nothing more, 

Betty died at age eighty, unmarried and all alone,
She still had Mr. E's stuff and number on his phone,
Betty said she knew nothing of E's vanishing thing,
But, she wore a rare green diamond in a gold wedding ring,
And, was buried next to a grave that had just "E" on the stone.
