Gutter Ball Saloon

Welcome to Gutter Ball Saloon Where careful words waft through the tavern; Serpentine swirls with evil intentions. Watch your step and pocketbook. Observe the chap in the derby hat. No, the other one. No, the other one…with the honeycomb vest. That singular sap is one of kind. Or one of ten; a soldier-still pin at full attention Standing in formation on the glossy maple Eager to be wrecked, toppled head-over-heels. Spare. He’s been gassed, you see. Some fancy bouquet of honey perfume Mingled with cheap cigars and one too many. He’s feeling lucky and takes a gamble. Throws in his hand and a couple of dice for good measure. Snake eyes! Just look at that dame. Her dark velvet accentuated physique Candy apple lips that drip pearls A string of words she drapes about his neck Intoxicatingly beautiful. The phrasing…and she’s a bit of a looker too. A real up-and-comer with a knack for bowling. Spare. A quick spritz and yank of the string. I dare you to look away. He’s choking…but of course he is. He never had a chance in that bowler hat. Just look at those red cheeks. Flush. She’s got him by the balls. Snake eyes. Now if you’ll look closely… I’ve got your wallet. Strike! 4/26/15
