Closin' Time...

The night is somewhat frantic

A job at Mickey D's

Killer ain't feeling romantic

He's flippin' burgers with cheese

He's been eyeing the deep oil-fryer

Making those golden fries

He can't wait 'till the doors are locked

And everybody dies

He's waited on the customers

The co-eds and the drunks

The ladies in faux furs

Those he'd like to cut in chunks

But this job is only for employees

He's gonna take 'em down

Especially them ones he sees

That want to clown around

Shift-leader Shirley slaps him on the ass

Says:" Get a move on hun."

He slams her face on the grill, real fast

Slices breast, gets it on a bun

Another girl is screamin'

"What the hell did you do?"

Now her face is steamin'

From Mickey's coffee-brew

The chorus of yells is ringin' his bells

Jay's eyes are buggin', he don't want to stay

Fresh blood and fried flesh smells

The door is locked... he can't run away

He jumps the counter... Killer drags him back

The sharp knives ain't put away yet

He uses some of these to hack

Jay ain't got half his due...I'd bet

Onion chopper is a nice machine

It chops fingers from Jay's hand

Killer is enjoyin' the screams

Almost more than he can stand

Hot oil is flyin' all around

Killer's havin' fun

Let's have a quarter pound

Of lips... on a sesame bun

Mix up the secret sauce

Heat up the fryin' grill

Killer is the boss

And now there's time to kill

Dear Gee

What can I say, I am in love with Killer and his maniacal way. Look Gee, truth, I will always rate your partnership with Killer on a very high rung, I enjoy reading about him immensely and u the creator, do have a talent and I am thrilled he has not been put on the backburner. This is your forte and I am loving it. I could go on but I think you and Killer could go a long way. Thank u. Love to u and yours. Lyz. XX

No, Killer is not done, by any means. He does use the backburner when he needs to simmer something. If you don't hear from him, you can be sure he has something cooking. Just bubbling away on the backburner. My grandson says it needs a little more description, but there is always next time... ~ Gee

Hey Gee

Had to come back and reply, your Grandson loves Killer too. I actually cannot understand how these writes have not been picked up by a publisher, honestly, I still reckon Killer could be your ticket to Disney. I think u think I am being kind, I am not, I am fair dinkem. If u have a few of these writes on Killer, I reckon u should do a series. My young 13yr old cousin was here for the wedding and before he went back I showed him a couple of poems, Killer included, and he loved it. He actually asked if he could get a copy to take back to show his mates. I told him he cant and he said damn. It may be our Aussie kids have a sick mind but he thought it was cool.I just think that this is what the mid teens would enjoy, you oughta look into it. The pressure is on from this Aussie nut job.Lol. I love reading him as well. Just thought I would give u my point of view, sorry to burn your eyes. Your Grandson seems to know what hes talking about. There, my first and last long comment for the day,lol. Love to you and yours, from Lyz. XX

Glad you are home...

Hope you are feeling better. Yeah, Killer is playing at work.LOL I wonder what Killer does in his normal life? He is a very secretive person. I have had so much encouragement for my Killer writes lately. I am going to try and find a publisher for him. Lyz has been hounding me to get him published. She says she thinks that he could make it big in Australia with the teens. A comic-book! I don't know, but I am willing to try. I love that he has such a following. I'm not too sure how to go about finding a publisher but will start looking today on the net. Love and higgest bugs,~ Gee.
