    bruiser's performance

    This real life vampire doesn't suck, he blowshard!

    bruiser's performance

    Vice President Richard Bruiser a celebrated pianist

    the Jasper kid who flopped his doctorate

    zipped up the Yamaha grand reving it full bore.

    He rocked the grapes off the crossbeam

    then fell heavily from his high perch

    puncturing his beloved biohazard suit.

    With blood dripping on the floor & a paranoid growl

    he said, ‘go fark yourself!’ hurling the score

    of the grosse fugue by Ludwig Van Beethoven the immortal

    at an unsuspecting quartet of foreign dignitaries.

    With flare Bruiser burst up to the footlights

    where he took out his running mate

    with a personalized version of the celebrated

    water boarding technique.

    High heels conservative ties academic gowns

    & bonnets stampeded immediately.

    Fire dancers ripped down the aisles & up the drapes

    as that fat old boy turned the burning deck & set

    into a spectacular spontaneous pyrotechnic event.

    Vice directum dickhead leapt astride Harry’s casket

    that accidental hero once sadly impregnated

    with friendly fire on an ill fated Texas hunting trip.

    Teeth gleaming phoenix eyes squinting

    Bruiser immediately became an immortal

    & just as impotent as the pope in his pointy red shoes.

    He hummed the hymn ‘onward christian soldiers’

    as he smiled his triumphant frostyboy smile

    whispering hoarsely as he expired into the ears

    of jackal axle herself, ‘so this is how it’s done.’
