Mack the Knife

That’s what they call me.
Well, it’s not such a creative leap, even for the morons I know.
I’m a Scot, and a well-honed blade is my preferred method of retribution.
The Boss, who is ancient, says it is appropriate.
Apparently Mack the Knife was a popular song about 100 years ago, back in the fifties.
Right now that is the least of my concerns.
The Boss is displeased.
Upset even.
Seems that annoying dude I carved up recently was his son.
So I’m wearing concrete overshoes and about to go feed the fishes.
Kinda ironic, given that song’s about a shark.
