The Heat Seekers

.
Some people are the quiet type, their profile is kept low,
While others are the boisterous ones, always on the go.
Certain guys you never hear, that trouble came their way,
But other ones I'm sure you know, find crisis every day.

.
Two of the best, around the job, they truly are elite,
Both just seem to have that knack, of drawing untold heat.
Kim Rossmo it is rumoured, can make trouble soon appear,
While Toby Hinton winds it up, and gets it into gear.

.
Both the lads are capable, while inside an empty space,
Of precipitating riots there, I assure you that's the case.
Heat just seems to follow them, no matter what they do,
As if it were a movie script, and appearing right on cue.

.
The only things quite similar, at seeking out the heat,
Are some military missiles, but even they just can't compete.
The Sidewinder and the Sparrow, are mated to machine,
This fighter called a Tomcat, the two man F-Fourteen.

.
But Kim and Toby are one up, on the high tech gizmos here,
For neither needs a pilot who, will hold the reins and steer.
Each one a free range missile, seeks out trouble on his own,
They can find it all together, or they do it all alone.

.
Since this pair is deadlier, than the high tech toys above,
And both can be ignited with, a very gentle shove.
I think they earned their nicknames, which I will now bestow,
They are Toby "Sparrow" Hinton, and "Sidewinder" Kim Rossmo.
