I’d love to be a spy! I’d sit in a cafe reading a newspaper with a hole in it to peep through.
I could disguise myself with a false beard and moustache and carry a big magnifying glass. I could even dress as a woman!
I’d pretend to be a window cleaner and peer into people’s rooms, make phone calls with a handkerchief over the mouthpiece and put on funny accents. I’d have a camera in my collar and a recorder in my hat.
One day I’d be a delivery driver, another a repairman.
But it’ll never happen. Fun to imagine though!
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and providing the photo.

It IS fun to imagine! 😊
That’s what I thought! Thanks, Sascha.
A delightful dream! And no need for disguise–my friends tell me that a senior can go everywhere incognito ’cause no one ever really sees you.
But when I see your clever little frog adaptations, I really think you should be a cartoonist. They don’t get captured and tortured and dumped in a shark-infested bay like spies do.
A very good point Christine! Don’t worry, I make sure my frogs come to no harm!
Ooh, it’s such a fun story. But though it’s fun, being a spy that is, you can risk your life 😉
A very good point!
When I was visiting Vienna several years ago I got to speaking with another American tourist. Her husband had been in the US diplomatic corps in some South American country and she was recruited to ‘snoop’ when she was with the wives of the South American diplomats. You know, kids playing on the swings and moms chit chatting. Sounds like your kinda dame, lol.
She does indeed! That’s amazing.
To be honest, you only need a pair of glasses for disguise – it works for Superman and Wonder Woman! 🙂
I don’t think my spy would be quite at their level! Cheers Annalisa.
You could do all that stuff without being a spy… It may get you into some bother though! 😉
True, but not as much fun!
It is fun to imagine!
Good one Keith
It is! Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome 😉
Best to stick to the fantasy I think! Nice take, Keith.

On reflection, I think you are right! Cheers Susan.
Lots of ideas there.
Yes, have a go Danny!
Fun to imagine indeed
It is. Thanks Shweta
My pleasure 😊
Why not? So many possibilities when you let your mind go!
That’s what I thought Dale!
😊
God’s greatest gift to humans is the capacity to love. The second greatest is imagination. Fun story, Keith.
He’s certainly using one of them! Thanks, Jade.
You are welcome.
Now I don’t know … ARE you only imagining? … 😉
That would be telling! Cheers Na’ama.
LOL! Well then, then … 😉
Hey everyone wants to be Kim Philby for a day, or at least maybe Maxwell Smart~
Now that would be interesting!
No one from the UK wants to be Kim Philby
Considering whose side he was on, it’s a good thing he doesn’t have a fan club
Its fun to imagine. Good stuff
That’s what I thought! Cheers.
Fun to imagine without the dangers of actually doing it 🙂
Absolutely right! Cheers.
Dear Keith,
I chuckle as I imagine you dressed as a woman. Are you familiar with the old American movie “Some Like it Hot”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbQqnJw7xL0 (enjoy) Fun story and adorable frog.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I am but I’ve not seen it for years. I might just watch it tonight! Thanks Rochelle.
A good a way as any to pass the time.
That’s what I thought! Thanks Sandra.
Your boyhood dreams of derring-do are showing!
There’s no fun in growing up! Cheers Liz.
Your world should be concerned for its privacy if your imagination ever comes true 🙂
A very good point Linda!
I’m sure the reality wouldn’t live up to the hype!
And I’m sure you’re right!
have you ever considered thoughts are things? all that’s needed is follow through. 🙂
That’s a thought! Cheers plaridel.
From what I hear you already peer rather too much into people’s rooms!
Naughty step for you, Keith
Chucks! How did you know that?
Imagination is a wonderful thing, and probably a lot more fun than the reality.
So true Mimi.
Great fun the imagination here, a sort of schoolboy dream, perhaps. Or else you have been watching too many Peter Seller film.
You can never watch too many Peter Sellers films! Not now Kato…
I watch a lot, and I mean a LOT of the old Mission: Impossible series. I have the first four years and some episodes I remember from childhood. I feel the same way myself. Maybe that’s why you write! Good stuff, Keith! Nicely done. Five out of five IMF’s.
You’ve spurred me to have a look at MI again! Thanks so much for your kind words – and my reward!
Love your ISpy frog, Keith. Fun imaginings. I want a camera in my collar and a recorder in my hat too!
You’d certainly hear and see a few things your eyes might have missed! Cheers Brenda.
Great take on the prompt! I believe we have all dreamt of spying on people, whether total strangers or people we know. I am glad not too many act on their fantasies though.

I’m sure we have, I can personally think of several occasions! Thanks Gabriella.
It looks like he’s thought it all out but needs a little confidence.
At least, he’s having fun imagining all of it.
I enjoyed this tale, Keith. Have a great weekend.
Isadora 😎
I had such a great weekend that I got behind on acknowledging my comments! Thanks so much Isadora.
It’s nice to know your enjoying your days … perhaps, something to think about continuing. Your very welcome, Keith. : )
What a fantasy, and a useful one for a fiction writer.
Thanks Mike.
There is absolutely no harm in daydreaming. Carry on 🙂
I quite agree!
Ah, lots more what ifs to ponder. Sounds like games I would play as a kid… bet its more fun as an adult haha
It sure is Laurie!
That was fun to imagine.
Thanks Dawn.
