Roger Moore Limerick Published in the Daily Mail

Roger Moore

Very sad to say goodbye to Roger Moore. Not an actor of Shakespearean stature, perhaps, but an actor who could convey quiet charisma, humour and had a distinctive voice. Add to this the humanitarian work he participated in after retiring from acting, and you have a man who will be remembered for all the right reasons.

Anyhow, I wrote a limerick in honour of Roger Moore which turned better than most of my efforts and was published in the Daily Mail on the last day of May.

Here it is:

Of Roger Moore we were all fond;
the most famous spy’s mantle he donned.
And what can be sweeter
than telling St. Peter
“The name, my dear fellow, is Bond.”?

So farewell, Mr. Bond!
