Life in the fast lane – Both playing the game
We’re known by numbers – But never by name
Licensed to Kill – Must never ask why
Live for the thrill – But someone will die
Searched every inch of this damn town
Taking time - to track her down.
The question is - How could I fall in love
With a counter spy?”
In this quest I mustn’t fail
There’s no escape, I’m on her trail
A tiny clue is all I need
I’ll sniff around – I’ll get a lead
I spot her in the Ritz Hotel
The way she walks – Her special smell
“Don’t disappear – Time goes too soon”
“Let’s have a drink and book a room”.
“Show me your secrets – I’ll show you mine”
She laughs and says – “Your cliché’s fine”
“Let’s go to bed and have some fun”
“And we can play - with your big gun”.
We both laugh - fall into bed
She pours me a beer with a good head.
We share a drink and snort some coke
She then declares -“this is no joke”.
And as she turns I see the gun
I say “come on this isn’t fun”.
“Not meant to be” was her reply
“Oh why must you be a counter spy?”
She then says “Sorry, you’ve failed the test”
Then pumps two rounds - into my chest.
“Can’t understand – why kill me?”
Through tears she says – “I must be free”.
One more bang and then he's gone
She got in first – No more James Bond.
Its dog eat dog - as spy kills spy
Must follow rules but not ask why.

Fun indeed, but Bond will be back in her nightmares.

Thanks Andy
Reckon she. will strike again. 😆
You just can not do that Andy - what is my favourite vegetable going to say? I think you are more likely to be assassinated than Bond ever will. Do you realise how powerful those Hollywood moguls are?
You have made the sacrifice for a good write though.
Oh no !!! Received a strange phonecall today . The caller claimed he was from Microsoft and wanted to log into my computer. You don't think??? No surely not! You could be right. 😆
It's no good Andy, you'll have to take extra precautions and watch your back if you move about. Still, 'it's an ill wind' and all that - they've obviously shifted their focus (limited resources due to covid?) from me....peace at last.....
a clever twist
with some 6ft-deep - hidden, acute commentary to top-it-of as well, I see..
a fun read
with deftly cringe-tiptoeing: innuendo - aplenty, lol
thanks for sharing
Thanks. Thought I would experiment with a few double-entendre and see what happens.
