They’d never shy away,
Bond, Smiley or Bourne.
At protecting the nation,
All three are well-worn.

They are authorised to kill,
But encouraged just to capture.
But in fighting all those baddies,
A bone or two might fracture.

Employed by MI6 and the CIA,
Their personal lives on hold.
Travelling the wide world over,
Often wholly uncontrolled.

When push comes to shove,
You’ve want them by your side.
Tracking down the bad guys,
No matter where they hide.
