Cajun Killer Cooking...

Night air of cooling dampness
Brushes Killer’s face
Searching for new recipes
He’s in this dim lit place

There is a voodoo princess
Better cook than all the rest
Long pig’s her only specialty
Her roasts are just the best

She’s agreed to meet him here
Kitchen, Sacre Bleu Hotel
It is the stroke of midnight
‘Tis black here as a well

He feels a presence enter
Candles begin to glow
She appears before him suddenly
I come, giving what I know

You want to know the secret
Of my roasted evil pervert?

Yes, I’ll trade you recipes
Candied lips for your desert?

Killer took out a big hunk of flesh
Voodoo girl went to get some lips
Together they made the kitchen
Smell of spices come from ships

There was ginger, cinnamon and sugar
Brown mustard and tarragon
They dragged out all their tricks
They pushed each other on

Voodoo wove a spell of magic
With her bloody hands
She made circles in the smoke
Spoke spells from far-off lands

Killer wrote real carefully
He must get these secrets right
This spell makes a long-pig roast
An absolute delight!

They enjoyed each other’s company
Let us make a great big dinner
We’ll invite the poor of New Orleans
To feast upon our sinner

I’ll make a gravy so rich, she said
With a twinkle in her eye
Killer smiled and kept on baking
He made sweet-sausage pie

She took drippings from the roast
Made rue from flour and water
Blended them together
Just like her father taught her

White meat is something special
He'd said it once or twice
Make sure that you don’t drown it
With the taste of spice

Spirits of forgotten chefs
Swirled through the kitchen aisles
They sampled, made suggestions
Showed off different styles

Scrambled brains on crackers
Beets in bloody sauce and cream
The aromas overpowering
It was a gourmet’s dream

At dawn the doors flew open
To the kitchen of Sacre Bleu
Come on in, you hungry people
We have a feast for you

Tramps and whores of New Orleans
Hungry people by the score
Ate delights that baffled them
Went back again for more

There is a shortage of evil doers
In New Orleans just now
Killer’s moving on... new space
Finding recipes that wow!

I'm thinking of putting together a cookbook of Killer recipes. Hell, I might even call it that! Killer Recipes, hmmmm... Has a nice ring to it. i could have him travel the world like one of those guys on T.V. looking for recipes that are purely cannibalistic. Thanks again for the visit and the kind words for Killer. ~ Gee

"Long Pig" just makes that watery feeling in the mouth, in the 50's when I was in what they call Micronesia now it was one of the top dishes and to be very close to all those Spice Islands, Yum, Bloody Yum..
I am glad that you have found this delicate feast in New Orleans, and written up so well, Give Killer our love and he is welcome to come visit one night, Yours, "Gyps fulvus" La La

PS:- Have you tried Toe Rings, cook the same as onion rings but the flesh from circle of cuts from the toes, make sure that they are marinated first...

to have Killer visit California. I'm sure that Killer could get some roles in slasher films. His rugged good looks and great physique along with his athletic abilities should put him at the top of the casting companies' list. He is about to do a world-wide search for new Longpig recipes, so he might just be stopping by Ian. Toe rings sound good, what do you marinate them in? ~ Gee

It's good to see Killer again, but I think you need to speak to someone. Preferably not alone.

Why is it New Orleans where all the sickies go? Vampire books and zombies, hurricanes and Republicans. Remind me to stay here in the west where all I have to deal with is Hollywood.

Give my best to killer, I was just wondering is this where Donner Kebabs come from, it is a thought, as there was no recipe left after those Winter nights, Then you don't mean to tell me he is into Andes Strips, better for me dried not fried LOL, Yours Ian.T
PS:- we had better be careful as copy write might get us, seeing that it wasn't that long ago in the wreck of an Aircraft high in the hills, put it to music La La Hiede

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” — W.B. Yeats

thrilled that he has made such an impression. Are there any tales of cannibalism in your country? Maybe Killer can visit Aussieland and pick up a new recipe or two. The only movie that I can think of is that one about Hannibal Lecter. My best friend and dispatcher for the taxi co. sometimes calls me that after he's read the latest Killer poem. I've been trying to define my concept of Killer for the last few months. I think I've gotten it a little sharper and more in focus. He has a story to tell, about the way he has come to be what he is today. I am getting ready to edit all the rest of the Killer poems and try to put them in some semblence of order. Maybe I can get a book of them together and publish it. Who knows, maybe I can be famous and make lots of money. LOL

I must confess my ignorance of who Dexter is. I'm glad you liked Killer's latest adventure. Glad you're not hungry, 'cause Killer doesn't have anything left. Those folks in New Orleans cleaned up everything! Oh well, there will be plenty of new recipes coming up. I'm sure that Killer can manage to put something away for you in some Tupperware. Love ya, ~ Gee

something Killer would watch. It's an Aussie program I take it? Sounds like there would be a lot of possibilities for stories. Traveling the world, taking out serial-killers that no one even knows exist. We like it! Thanks, ~ Gee

Please call Killer back I think he is into Chinese food..??
THE hunt for a cannibal killer suspect has spread to Europe — months after The Sun news paper in the UK warned Scotland Yard that he was dangerous.
“Once you kill and taste blood it’s impossible to stop.”
The killer, fled after his male partner - a missing Chinese student - was chopped up and eaten in Canada.
Today cops said the killer flew to Europe on Saturday and refused to rule out that he was not in England.
French cops have said they are actively hunting for him across the Channel.
The killer is believed to have written a chilling email to The Sun newspaper in the UK saying: “I’ll be back — and this time the victims won’t be animals.”
The terrifying message was sent after being quizzed in London six months ago
The Sun warned the Met Police then of our fears he would go on to kill — but they DROPPED the case, saying it was outside their jurisdiction.
Last night the killer thought to be a twisted gay porn star, was being hunted across the world after a severed hand and a foot were mailed to the offices of two political parties in Canada.

Gee look what you have done now, please stop encouraging him to find other hunting grounds LOL.
