Unveiling the Secrets Behind “Double OhOh”: A Poetic Journey by Bob Eager
Ever stumbled over words only to realize that repeating a careless remark turns a minor slip into a triple faux pas? Bob Eager’s “The Double Oh-Oh” nudges us to rethink the weight of our speech—because one misstep might be forgivable, but echoing it? That’s where the trouble really starts. Pacing along the Royal Mile of language’s peculiarities, this poem cleverly surfaces the silent blunders we commit when we break confidences or drown moments in needless repetition. It’s a witty yet poignant reminder that sometimes, the biggest offense isn’t what we say, but how many times we say it. Curious how often you’ve hit that “Double Oh-Oh” moment yourself? Take a closer walk with Bob’s words, and you might just find it’s time to Get it Right Next Time.

The Double OhOh.
Don’t insult a twofer,
one and two makes
a triple no no no.
Walking down the Royal Mile,
When was the last time you broke the confidence?
Get it Right Next time,
Dealing with the death of
of an unchartered lingo.
Miles Away,
Again a Double OhOh.
Sleepwalking through your speech,
keep it to yourself.
Hypnotized in the Oh Well,
An unbiased letting go,
and respectfully avoid the Double Ohoh.
