Stab Wound at a Knife Convention

[Wjames]

The bartender at the Burlap Stinkhole
is an old time freight train with coal stained teeth
and an engine cough that's rattled the screws
in the conductor's cabin.

He'll smooth your kinks if you scratch his back
with the right rake, but don't touch his scabs
if you like looking in the mirror.

Mention my name 
and he'll introduce you
to his dog's stomach.

I gave his sister a rash
penicillin won't touch.
