ALL About BOND (007)
Fleming took to the sun
In a place that is heaven
To the island of beauty and fun
Where he wrote about that spy: 007
——
When the films were made
John Barry and his team knew the score
The memorable horn and wind serenade
Left us all wanting more and more
——–
It didn’t take EONs to get the party started
Sean Connery took to the lead role
Cinema goers and their cash departed
Creating a film fever that swept the globe
——-
From the doctor that always said ‘No’
To Ursula who shone like a dime
Who knew where the films would go
As Bond ‘wrestled with ‘the hand ‘ of crime
——-
007 gets wrapped up in a Russian triangle
The clerk loves him and her home
Kleb ‘points’ and dances to make Bond dangle
Then it’s time to do what they do in Rome
——-
Bond is faced with a man he can’t deny
Gold is his drug; his fix
Odd Job is strong; but he gets fried
Auric is sucked out; and into the mix
——-
And now the SPECTRE of games begin
This time Largo is bold and upfront
Bond with help ensures they don’t win
It required a very watery stunt
——–
Bond looks dead; but wait he’s reborn
He heads to Japan for an assist
When it’s the right time he’ll blow his horn
Forcing SPECTRE to cease and desist
——–
Are diamonds the forever jewel?
Bond soon learns what this means
Fighting Spectre is unusual and cruel
But 007 seems to get away clean
——
A new Bond does his serves majestic
He faces 12 angels of death
His time is fractious and hectic
As his beloved draws her last breath…
—–
The fans then asked for Moore
Roger wanted to Live & Let and Let Die
Mr Big is the enemy for sure
As Kanaga explodes into pieces of a pie
——-
Gold is back on the scene
A Gun with nuggets that kill
The mirrors reflect a face to be gleamed
Scaramanga ends up paying his bill
——
Will Bond fall for the Russian charm?
Spies are not the type to trust
They work well; she means no harm
Let’s hope the mission isn’t a bust
—–
Fly Bond to the moon…
No time to play with the stars
007 plans Drax’s end; and soon
As Jaws and Dolly don’t make the bar
Bond only has Eyes; for You
Gogol has plans in mind as well
The ATAC system ensures a right to-do
The time has come to ring the bell
——-
You can’t go wrong with eight legs
It’s not the same however for 007
A circus; a bomb; what question does it beg
Answer; they want to blow you up to heaven
The Duran Duran theme put us on the sill
Moore’s last outing; as slick as oil
Standing tall – looking at a View to a Kill
Another device is set explode and boil
Tim Dalton likes Living in the Daylight
Koskov likes to trick and deceive
Pushkin and Whitaker will perish tonight
As 007 has a few ’Q’ tricks up his sleeve
Gladys Knight has a License and will
Bond has revenge for Lieter in mind
Become a hitman – a contract to kill
Sanchez is sought out – Bond makes the find
——–
A new Bond enters the fray
Golden Eye is his first real test
Pierce as 007 fights for England without delay
Trevelyan ensures Bond works at his best
——-
Now Tomorrow arrives on time
Bond and Wai Lin fight for mankind
Carver has a story; it’s a tight deadline
The British fleet leave Carver going blind
Cheryl says the World is Not Enough
Reynard believes this to be true
007 has to get a little rough
With time running out & so much to do
Two faces belong to one man
The General’s dead son reappears
Bond doesn’t know the true global plan
But makes sure they end up in tears
——
Craig takes on the Royal reins
Gambling on poking the bear
Le Chiffre takes all of the pain
Mr. White is the man to fear
—–
There’s no time for Solace
In any Quantum of time
Greene is the one hurling malice
And now his life walks out of line
Bond returns to his Skyfall
Silva takes him back to the start
M comes up short; not that tall
007 aims with an axe to the heart
——
The reveal shows SPECTRE; ESB
The author of Bonds pain
A final fight occurs over the sea
Will we get to see ‘that cat’ ever again?
—-
The 25th episode is out now
What will Bond have to face?
Book your tickets if you’re allowed
Sit back, relax and enjoy the race…
