Gambling
In The House Of The Lord Haiku Series
by Gambling Mulvany
I have grown a beard
So those who know me now
Won't know me later
My dear friend Flynner
Left me in this den of sin
To fend for myself
We would share good times
And sellotape together
All our barbie dolls
Larry at the door
He brings me muffins and cakes
On a Tuesday night
You want to leave me
You're going to need your mind
But that bastard's mine
Meet the holy ghost
To you it may seem bizarre
I think it's ok
Come the end of time
I want to bathe with them all
Those who I have slain
The end when it comes
Will be violent and quick
And splattered in gore
