Desert Dog Inn...

Anthracite, with flames

Matte-black exhaust, no chrome

A grinning, clawing skull

With fire licking at it's dome

A snarling, snappish heart

Pushing horses to the wheel

Has Killer's heart just racing

As the tire begins to squeal

Blue pulsing lights, make shadows

He twists the throttle wide

Ressurrected power engulfs him

It fills the void inside

Full moon lights the road for him

The monster's lantern incidental

Manical laughs escape his throat

Anyone would think him mental

His ebon leathers like armour

He feels a rush of pleasure

The Bowie-knife on his hip

Gleams, as if some treasure

Parked at the rail of the Desert Dog

The rowdy party fills his ears

Killer shuts the motor off

Goes inside to have some beers

The sloe-eyed brunette beauty

Says; What ya having hun?

He smiles and winks, says; beer's my drink

And I may just have some fun

The music loudly claimed

That it was bad, to the very bone

This whole scene, was rockin'

Made Killer feel at home

Now, you know there were some bad guys

At the tables in the back

Didn't take them long to notice

Killer, take a cue down from the rack

Hey man, that's my table

Said the biggest of them all

Killer smiled and said,

How about a dollar, on each ball?

As he lost his last lone dollar

The big guy went wild with rage

He swung the stick, and smashed some glass

Now this... is Killer's page

Knives and chains came out

As the boys pushed back their chairs

Killer laughed and shouted

You need them all... to make it fair

He crouched down and pulled the Bowie

They let big mouth go first

Swinging fists wrapped with chain

He meant a world of hurt

Killer stepped aside, let the blows go by

As the next one rushed him

He stuck the knife-blade in his eye

He gutted two or three of them

Blood slippery on the floor

He slit the throat of the last

Yelled, Are there any more?

He hoisted up a pitcher,and he drank it down

Then he heard the Hogs, grunt to life

Headed for the town

I guess the party's over

It's a long ride home

But I've got a story to tell my friend

The skull with fire, on his dome

I like killer!

Him and Alex Machette would either get on well or kill each other on sight. Only one thing bugs me in this. I never heard of betting per ball on pool, and even so, just one dollar? How about $10 a game, the big one doubles or nothing till he loses it all? Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible

Well, this is a...

popular form of betting in the American southwest, and a dollar a ball, is not cheap if you are planning to stay out all night. You shoot until you miss, [a good player can run four or five balls at a time, really good players can run the whole table]. Beer being $2.50-$4.00 a bottle, pitchers and mixed drinks $5.00-$8.00, you can go thru a $100 or so dollars real quick. Most of the people I know, don't make much over $400-$500 a wk. after taxes, and can ill afford to spend much more than a $100 bucks on a night out. Unless they are drug dealers. And Killer don't play that, Homey. ~ Geezer

LMAO, I loved that Gee. I

LMAO, I loved that Gee. I love reading the natural flow you can write killer in, natural born killer so to say. Motorcycles and bar fights, grand imagination you have bringing him to life. And to life is what you do Gee. I know its sick, but I love killer. He is the ultimate bad-ass and deserves his own Hollywood movie! It would be amazing! Julie D.D.

Maybe Killer should...

head for Hollywood. There are lots of sick people out there. He would like to meet Freddy Kruger and Jason, and maybe Hannibal Lector. We will have to start thinking about getting a screen-writer to work something up. Killer is getting excited! Thanks for the read, and the praise, ~ Love ya, Gee

Killer likes you too...

We are in the process of reading and commenting on your work. Sorry that it took so long for us to meet up. Thanks for the praise, and Killer has no intention of retiring anytime soon. He is the alter-ego of Sir Geezer, sharing his love of jousting with the bad-guys, but not having any qualms about taking them home to cook. [Sir Gee's stomach turns at the thought.] And Killer doesn't care about fighting fair. ~ Thanks for the read, and comments,~ Gee

Killer is glad to share...

his night out with you. He also likes happy, drunk women. Trouble just seems to find Killer, no matter where he goes. He just needs a little something to set him off, and then he revels in the violent aftermath. He is a little of bi-polar and schizophrenic both. Ever see a cartoon called "The Maxx?" It is an adult thing, that used to be on late at night, on a program called "Adult Swim" He was a character that saw evil as little black blobs, that had mouths full of sharp teeth, and could eat most anything. He was always saving the blind-girl in the building across from his from them. Usually, he was kinda taciturn and sweet with nice people, but when faced with the blobs of evil, he shot, stabbed and beat the shit out of them. LOL Killer would love to play "The Maxx"! Love and higgest bugs for my funny, lovable drunk, ~ Gee

Bad boys...

I think that the facination of both men and women with bad boys, may be the call of nature, and animal instinct. If you watch the animal channels on tv, it's always, the biggest, baddest males, that get the girl. Of course, now that humanity is somewhat civilized, we have to deny that aspect. A little fantasy is good for us. It helps to keep us from actually going out and doing the bad shit. [At least most of us]. Glad you liked Killer's latest, ~ Gee p.s. thanks for the nom.
