Killer Kitchen...

No, no ...says Claude, chef supreme

You whip, not beat, the whipping cream

You hand should make circles, you clumsy oaf

Your technique, stale whole wheat, an un-cut loaf
 

He can't take the abuse, from this candy-pants chef

It's late,  the other students, all have left

Killer smiles now, for first time that day

Now we're going... to do it my way
 

Lemon-bouillon bubbling, it's really hot

Claude's hand is au-bleu... held in the pot

His screams, as fingers curl and turn blue

Are part of Killer's recipe too
 

Tired of Claude's ego, so very big

Killer thinks of making a meal of " Long-pig"

A slice with a blade, shortens Claude's life

Killer admires... the edge on this knife
 

There must be no waste, no evidence left

No trace of Claude the supreme, the master-chef

Killer plans courses, mouth-watering delights

From aperitif, to dessert, he works through the night
 

He chops and cooks, and he filets strips of flank

Roasting and basting, Chef Claude's double shanks

Onions and garlic, he makes bouillon for dipping

Blood thinned with white wine, for the guests to be sipping
 

A sangria au' Killer, he just made it up

Something he'd serve, in a porcelin-white cup

Trussing the forearms, to the ribs stuffed and baked,

He started dessert, an elaborate cake
 

Sugar blended blood-icing, for it's decor

Beaten, not whipped... not Claude's way, for sure

The early-bell is ringing, let the party begin

Chef Claude has left us, Killer says with a grin
 

I have taken control... taken his place

You can't leave my party, without a smile on your face

The students love Killer, they think he's great

Killer can't wait.... 'till they all graduate

Like that!

Yes, like that! Claude was a pig! Where the hell did you find that? I was in the middle of eating breakfast, not the best for an appetiser, although Killer seems to like it. LOL ~ Gee

A Culinary Classic

Killer has brought his unique "talents" to the culinary classroom. I am sure his students will enjoy Cannibal Cooking 101!!!! I love the blood icing...DeMona might be interested in sampling some of Killer's dishes when he is through teaching/learning. We will have to set up another date for them soon....very well done!!!!

Killer's happy...

that you are such a fan. He loves trying out new things. I went to the library to find a culinary dictionary, because I wanted some terms to lend credibility to the situation. That way, if a chef, or culinary student were to read this, they would find true terms and a little realisim. Thanks, from the both of us, ~ Love and higgest bugs,~ Gee

LOL. Good research. You

LOL. Good research. You might want to read the Hannibal Lector series (as if you hadn't?) Remember the brain scene in the movie? Fava beans? Chianti? ~A "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ A Course In Miracles

Killer was very...

disappointed, to learn that Hannibal Lector is a work of fiction. I had to quickly explain, that he was based, on a composite of a couple of real people, and that seemed to satisfy him. I don't exactly know if that is true, but I can't have Killer examining his own validity. Yes, that is one of Killer's favorite scenes. He loved that Hannibal is a sort of gourmet-cook, but he knows the dangers of eating raw brains, and likes his food well-cooked anyway. Thank you for the read, I'm glad that you liked it. Hopefully, Killer will be hooking up with his main-squeeze DeMona soon, he is in the mood for a little R&R. ~ Gee

Killer needs a little tweak...

The rythym seems a little off in places. I will attend to it, and try to smooth the icing. Killer wants to open restaurants around the world. Just think! There may be one coming to your town soon!Thank you for the kind review, ~ Gee

Yes...

Killer has a past. LOL He has evolved some over the past year, and has gathered up a following. I am compiling enough Killer works to make a book of poems. Just need a few more. Killer loves it, when someone says "Killer write". He likes seeing his name in print. Thanks, ~ Gee

Killer's love-life...

is sporadic. He dates DeMona exclusivly now, but they have some difficulty in getting together, because Killer travels so widely. Next holiday is Memorial Day, and they hope to be together for it. ~ Gee

Brilliant, I so love it when

Brilliant, I so love it when your bad Gee. In a good way of coarse, lol. So except for word capitolizing all of your lines, which maybe you intend. Nevermind. Then how about your transition where.... no that was intentional to. Well you used bouillnn twice! Jezz what a lame suggestion, it works. Just ignore me. OK no complaints, I tried. LOL!! Julie D.D.
