Journeying to many a dangerous place
Only to find his life at stake,
He never could resist a pretty face,
Not even if she was a fake.
When it came time to find a helpful mate,
In the beginning, he chose David Keel.
Cathy Gale was never second rate.
King, the doctor, knew just how to feel.
Happy though he was to work with these
And although Venus is preferred by some,
M-appeal, the best was yet to come.
Gale was liberated as can be
And Steed admired her more than Smith or King
"Still there is something missing," murmured he.
Come '65, he'd find the very thing.
Only Mrs. Peel would win his heart,
Young and sassy as a playful bird.
Never did he want her to depart
Even though Peel had the final word.
Before long John Steed had to say goodbye;
Emma's husband had escaped his doom.
Remembering their good times was forced to cry
Replacement Tara King entered the room.
Easily it seemed he soon forgot
So many lovely days he's spent with her.
Fascinating Tara took her spot;
Obnoxious Mother clung on like a burr.
Retired soon after, Steed would spy again,
Daring Mike and Purdey took the rein.
Someday I hope he'll come back to the screen
To wow us with his intellect and charm
Even though to some girls he was mean
Every time he saves the world from harm,
Dapper, handsome bowler-wearing spy, we realise we'll love him til we die.
