Solving my cases,

smoking 'cause of stress.

Saving the day,

and a damsel in distress.

I drink like a fish,

and swear like a sailor.

I buy fabrics for suits,

and send ‘em to a tailor.

I carry a gun that I hate,

because I often have to use it.

I think I’d rather save a life.

than force another man to lose it.

I have a bar that I frequent,

‘The Filthy Swirl’.

I drink a lot there,

maybe pick up a girl.

I smoke a lot too,

y’know, among other things.

After a lot of cigs n’ practice,

I can now make smoke rings.

My adventures are bloody,

intense, and emotional.

With links to my past,

beyond what is rational.

I have an arch-nemesis,

and it ain’t banal.

Since I've got a love interest,

who’s a femme-fatale.

I open crypts and escape,

from hidden monesteries.

I attack nuclear facilities,

while working cemeteries.

I get challenged publicly,

by  random serial killers.

The Maharajah thanked me,

for finding his golden pillars.

It’s what I signed up for,

and how I get by.

Another day in the life,

of a Private Eye.
