ABCs with Rocky Rickaby

ABCs to Mordecai Heller

Don't make the same mistake others have made
One of them was to smuggle the spirits for the trade
Needless to say, their fates were met with bullet holes
There won't be another warning when it comes to moles

If you try double deal with the likes of these
There is no guarantee you'll return in one piece
Run for the hills while you still can, rumrunner
Or you'll get hacked into pieces by Mordecai Heller

Not in vain do they call him the Hatchetman
He hacked his victims with a claw hammer
From a Jewish tom to a notorious triggerman
Now he holds a gun and he'll pull the trigger

In the underworld of spirits and speakeasies
Here is a tale about him compressed into ABCs
To those who don't know about Mordecai Heller
It all began when he wrote one last letter

A is for Atlas May
B is for Bookkeeping
C is for Clean killing
D is for Dressed to slay

E is for Eloquence or equations
F is for Ficus, not flirtations
G is for Grabbing a gun
H is for Hatchet man

I is for Investigation
J is for Jotting in missions
K is for Killing swiftly
L is for Leaving Lackadaisy

M is for Moving to Maribel
N is for New pin on his lapel
O is for Observation and finesse
P is for Punctuality and pince-nez

Q is for Questioning non sequiturs
R is for Rumrunners and gangsters
S is for Symmetry and perfection
T is for Triggerman with distinction

U is for Ultimatum for his victims
V is for Vendetta in the system
W is for Weaponry to the warzone
X is for Xerox as an undertone

Y is for Yiddish, not just German or English
Z is for Zenith, the pinnacle of perfection
Only quite a few know that he's actually Jewish
That's why he covers his accent with precision

Stay away from Mordecai if you value your life
Or he'll be the one to kill you wielding a knife
Unless you don't want to have a deathwish
Leave while you're ahead, vanish or perish.
