MASTERPIECE #3523
/// H.S. Drinker, the Man with the Cat,
posed the way a James Bond villain sat.
Shave his mutton chops, he
looks like Christopher Lee,
(Scaramanga) with a golden gat.
/// The man’s stroking a cat in his lap.
(Like this golden cat taking a nap.)
Blofeld, head man of SPECTRE,
hired a Russian defector
to lure Bond, (James Bond), into a trap.
/// Still, no matter what villains may do,
with the help of cool gadgets from Q,
double-oh-seven wins.
When the next film begins,
each part’s played by an actor who’s new.
/// Henry’s wearing a pale yellow suit
upon which ginger cat fur looks cute.
Fingers of his left hand
into gang signs have spanned…
or, perhaps it’s a Vulcan salute.
