ELABORATE SUBTERFUGE

By the Urban Poet

The agent unlocks his hard flight case

What few clothes he has in there he hangs

Then it’s a mysterious looking orange file

Placed on the coffee table for bedtime reading

 

Deceit and trickery are his specialism’s

Together with meticulous planning 

All the parts to this mission, carefully arranged

The details complicated, in their design

 

Deception and double-dealing brought him

to this place, to have to carry out the deed

The amount of preparation needed was huge

The orange file would confirm the target

 

Elaborate subterfuge used in abundance

Now it’s time to eliminate the source

Room number checked, noted and entered

Pistol, silencer, and clowns mask placed back

Mission completed
