Bond, James Bond

as a kid

i wanted to be a detective,

or a spy

of some sort.

living on a houseboat,

like in 77 Sunset Strip,

or James Bond,

drinking

a martini with his hair

perfectly combed,

his suit,

impeccable

as he went

about his business of saving

the world

from evil characters,

bent on lies and deception.

but i never knew how good

i'd be at it,

until i got married.
