I have decided to write a novel
A pretty straightforward novel
About a man who loves his country so much
That he has decided to serve it
In my book I portray him in a simple light
Joe Ordinary is a polymath with an exceptional IQ
He speaks a number of languages and understands many dialects
Joe has only two heroes one is Jesus Christ
And the other is the explorer Richard Francis Burton
Joe is highly educated excelling in all subjects
He has great understanding of grey although he sees things in black and white
Joe is employed by his country although officially he does not exist
Unlike other operatives Joe tries not kill as he is a peaceful man
He appreciates the sanctity of life
Human life he knows is intrinsically good
And it is impermissible to kill the innocent
Joe will give the guilty a chance to surrender
But will destroy them if they continue to fight
He would rather that an evil man be imprisoned
That suffer the consequences of violence
If his actions result in the destruction of others
Then he will retire to a retreat and talk to God
When the time is right to do so
Joe has a clear knowledge about gender
Like many he knows that only two exist
He will not enter into what he sees as an empty debate
His views about what constitutes a perversion are quite clear
Joe has a good knowledge of the Bible and has studied many religions
Again he will not enter into empty debates with uneducated fools
As this might distract him from his far more important duties
Many people have passed Joe in the street
As although quite tall he is unremarkable to look at
He will as with a chameleon blend into the order of ordinariness
Joe is not a hero he does not see himself as a hero
I have not yet decided if Joe has a family
Due to the inherent dangers of his missions
If so he will be married to Josephine
They will have two children Peter and Paul
Joe might live next door to you in Arcadia Avenue
Or live in the remote mountains of my imagination
