Written Rap Battles of Literature: Richard Hannay vs James Bond

 RICHARD HANNAY

Oh I say! A cheap ripoff of me

Good news, Bond, the bell tolls for thee!

You're already afflicted with the wokish poison

Hitchcock and Buchan are not your toys, son.

You bed women, and leave 'em the next morning

Your lack of empathy just has me yawning.

JAMES BOND

You're Scottish and you don't even have the accent

I do say, you need consistency, for it lacks it.

Your book is over a century out of date

Your BBC miniseries did nothing but dissipate.

My films still rake in millions, and I'm a British icon

You're all but forgotten, 'cos your wars are long gone.

RICHARD HANNAY

At least I don't have most of the behaviour you displayed

When you got kicked out of Eton 'cos you fucked a maid

Let's just face it, your series hasn't really aged well,

For your misogyny, you can just as well burn in hell.

Your love for your job just isn't there

You pummelled Goldfinger to death on a plane from his lair.

Speaking of films, my '78 one set the record straight

You're just a grumpy drunk with a bucketload of hate.

JAMES BOND

I'm the face of modern Britain, you're a Boy's Own hero

Got eclipsed by your film? Oh, dearie, dear-o!

May Maxwell will sweep you under the rug

Now go and raise your son, you OBE-holding lug!

Didn't even meet your daddy till you were six

That's the number of your adventures vs. my 25 flicks!

Clanroyden will just watch, like a worthless blood-brother

When I give you the treatment your foes gave to Scudder!

WHO WON?

WHO'S NEXT?

WE'LL SEE!
