Poetry for the Peacemaker

"Elegance in every step" - on the art of Being Bond.
By Scaramouche, the po(t)et, a very commonplace little sweet-piece for my dear James. Exceptionally strange rhyme pattern, not quite fitting end rhymes, and a malfunctioning rhythm at places - please believe it was intentional, because it actually was - and ignoring the fact that Craig the Clown does not incorporate most of the listed abilities, readers ought rather see it as inspired by events described in the essay below and in 20 other motion pictures. With love and devotion, of course, and looking forward to the next! - maybe Craig could take some notice, too?

Been following his footsteps, since I was merely young and shy
He taught me to be ladylike, to live before it's time to die
I never met more brilliant, and purely fictional, a guy

Everytime I meet someone whose qualities I've often sought
I match them up with him, who is to me the ultimate in thought
Countless places, numerous occasions; the devils he has fought

So compared to any other bloke, he's rare as they may come
Martinis, girls and guns for toys make action flicks more fun
Throughout to sit in pure excitement, waiting for the final run

Never saw more perilous escapes be shown on screen
No troubles left where this old, clever secret agent's been
Doesn't take too long for übervillains to come clean

Drives his cars like other people wouldn't ever think to dare
Almost drowning in the seas, his mind clear; shoots a flare
Takes much more than spiders for this man to catch a scare

No woman could resist, that isn't much of a surprise
He loves them, leaves them, makes sure that no questions may arise
Yet, doomed to play the lonely man, he knows that there's a price

Behind a pair of ever-cautious, ever-vacant eyes
The truth of any gentleman's obsession surely lies
Although surpassed the standards, there are reasons why he tries

And thus, he sets perfection still and never gets it wrong
Well, almost, but he sorts it out and he's still going strong
I'm certain he may stick around, we'll need him here for long

Impressed as such, I'll follow in his footsteps till I'm old
Wrinkly faced, still longing for a magic hand to hold
Knowingly admitting, never dreamt a man more bold!
