For fear of lawsuit, 0007 would never identify the boy. In any case, the boy proved completely inept at poetry of any kind, let alone defensive poetry. Giving up, 0007 taught him how to box.
The tragedy was that the boy never did give up on poetry, with the belief that defensive poems would help him defeat his boxing opponents. Time and time again ,the young man would win a championship, only to lose it to some unworthy boxer, because he would spout the poem out before the bout and believe the result was already decided.
Often, agent 0007 would meet her protege in some remote, secret gym and give him another lesson in humility and boxing. Still, the young man would not relent with his pre-boxing match poetry. Soon, 0007 learned a sad side effect of defensive poetry, if it’s not used correctly. The boy became delusional and continued to compose poetry and box well into old age.
How do we know 0007 was Irish? Firstly, with her CIA ties, and zeal against communists, my sources suggest that her true last name was McCarty. More than that is the style of boxing her boy showed. Though he never called it that, he used footwork known as the “Irish shuffle”.
