It is hard to live a life of crime                                                                 

When you are just in your prime.

Though I've been told

Time and time again that is a job only for the bold

I find myself thinking,

Almost critiquing,

Why do I have to kill so?

The action, the danger,

The meetings of strangers-

Who often end up with a gun to their heads.

A beautiful woman appears always there,

So easy to tame in her underwear.

I am an agent, I'm not going to lie

And though a lot of people do die,

I will do this job for the girls

And catch the bad guys that I've been told

Are no good for this world anymore.

Author guidance for This poem

With the new movie coming out I thought this was an appropriate exercise:

Pick a James Bond movie title (a handy list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond#Films)

Use it as the title and subject of your poem. Not the movie itself, just the title.The idea is to let the movie title take you places the movie never did.Movies done so far:

- The Spy Who Loved Me
- Moonraker
- Tomorrow Never Dies
- The World Is Not Enough
- Dr. No
- On Her Majesty's Secret Service
- Goldeneye
- Quantum Of Solace
- The Man With The Golden Gun
- You Only Live Twice
- For Your Eyes Only
- Die Another Day
- Diamonds Are Forever
- Octopussy
- Live And Let Die
- A View To A Kill
- The Living Daylights
- Goldfinger
- From Russia With Love
- Thunderball
- Licence To Kill
- Casino Royale

And that makes all of them... feel free to do alternative takes on any of them :)
