The SPECTRE of Defeat…

Bond consumed with M’s death doesn’t want to fall

The answer could lie in Mexico

We hope the ‘writing is not on his wall’

Without approval that is where Bond goes

The new M, cuts Bonds ties

Mallory has his own fights to win

A sinister intelligence plot emerges – the nine eyes

Max Denbigh is no saint – but likes to sin

Sciarra’s wife is the target to aim for

Bond has the Octopus engraved ring

At the secret meeting Bond walks through the door

A name from the past is heard – kill the ‘Pale King’

Hinx replaces Sciarra as the new man

He chases Bond in his DB10

The next stop needs a new plan

007 is on the run again

The Pale King is ‘Mr White’

In Austria there is a chill in the air

A gun and thallium means it’s over for him – good night

His daughter’s life are his final fears

Search for L’ Americain Bond is told

Dr Swann comes into view

Can 007 keep his promise to be bold?

To protect her with every bone and sinew?

Q meets Bond with info from the past

L’Chiffre, Greene, Silva were all the face

How much further will his life last?

The past is the present for Bond to embrace

In Tangier Swann fights through a wall of pain

Her father has evidence of Spectre’s central home

Yes they are here and on the Saharan plain

Its the next stop for 007 to roam

Hinx meets up to test Bond’s devotion

The train fight is a touch of first class

Hinx is ejected- poetry in motion

Bond settles for a martini – in a glass

Tangier is next on the list

The desert is calling 007 and Swann

A classic 1947 RollsRoyce appears from the mist

Taking them both the meet ‘the one’

Oberhauser is steps into the fray

Boasts about his control over Nine Eyes

Bond just about lives another day

Swann saves him from being fried

Yes Oberhauser is really ESB

Bond’s ‘brother’ from a young age

He died once to set himself free

SPECTRE is the platform – yes his very own stage

The explosive escape leaves ESB scarred 

To London to take the program off-line

Max is caught; then falls through the bars

Swann is re-captured, and is anything but fine

The MI6 building is ready to blow

One last stunt from Ernst Stavro Blofeld

Bond has a three minute choice – where does he go?

Maybe it’s time reign on him ; some 007 hell

Swann is saved;its Bond’s turn to stir the pot

ESB watches with glee from the air;

Bond pilots a boat and take a bulls-eye shot

His nemesis is down; trapped in M’s lair…
