Suki Tawdry

This is inspired by Bobby Darin's
hit song "Mack the Knife"
https:www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEIIHMWkXEU

"Oh the shark has..."
Suki Tawdry terrified
Mackie's voice following her
His song slicing the air like a razor
The last tune a ho like her might ever hear
"...such sharp teeth, dear..."
She does her sweet best
Every single fucking day
Trying to be a good earner
A woman cared for
"...but he keeps them..."
Suki ducks in a doorway
Turns out to be locked
She reaches into her purse
Finds her own blade
"...out of sight..."
