The Impressionist Spy

There is nothing quite like a soupçon of truth to stir into a made up story to make it appear plausible and true. This poem is about a spy who wanted to emulate Daniel Craig as James Bond in Casino Royale (2006), but perhaps ended up emulating Woody Allen as James Bond in Casino Royale (1967).

Any resemblance to any persons living or dead, or appearing in the JEP is purely coincidental.

The Impressionist Spy

Je suis un spy, je suis un spy
And all that I tell you, it is true
Pinocchio’s nose grew and grew
Mon ami, I do not lie, I do not lie

I came to search, I came to pry
Female lawyers, seduced them too
Je suis un spy, je suis un spy
And all that I tell you, it is true

Just like James Bond, I am not shy
Publication date, that is my cue
Please buy my book, I beg of you
Or you will leave me high and dry
Je suis un spy, je suis un spy
