I keep just the basics
In my custom fabricated
Carry all padded case
My computer
Some clothes
Toothbrush
A Beretta 92F with a screw on silencer
My two favorite knives
And one small nuclear device
Because you just never know
When it will be time to break the silence
To engage
The self destruct sequence
Of course, that last was a joke
If I had one of those I’d be broke
I’m no 007
I’m just a Johnny Mercenary
Less common than most
But uncommonly necessary
I’ve toppled regimes
I’ve killed on sight
I’ve gathered intel
I’ve given housewives a fright
Most things I do
Have a price
Everything on the menu
Is decidedly not nice
I’m getting older
And a whole lot slower
The fees I’m able to get
Getting correspondingly lower
I keep on truckin’ though
It’s the only life I know
When I get the call
I pack up and go
Until I,
Too late
Feel that presence at my back
The slight tug on the collar of my coat
And the inevitable knife
At my throat
