Jane Bond At Your Service

I read earlier that MI6 are looking for ladies of a certain age to recruit. Any takers??

This is written in response to MI6 wanting to recruit more women into UK Spy Agencies. 27th May 2016

Jane Bond At Your Service

Move over Mata Hari, there’s a new girl here, you see.
This girl is set for business and this dame is clearly me.
I’m MI6 and ready with a taste for espionage,
a skilful secret agent with a knack for sabotage.

I’ve swapped the sink for spying and ditched the household chores,
no longer washing dishes or vacuuming the floors.
My Martini’s are now shaken and I’ve learned to play roulette,
there’s a Walther in my holster but I haven’t fired it yet.

I’ll wheedle and finagle any spooks or ne’re -do-wells,
with my charm and smart charisma and those luring female spells.
No mole would dig in my patch, no bug would bother me,
I’m licenced for removal and of that I’ll guarantee.

Codenames are for breaking and I’m ready for the match,
any goon that causes problems I will readily despatch.
So I’m double 0 and ready for whatever comes my way.
I’m far too busy saving nations to Die Another Day!
