Hans and Greta opened a bakery and bar called the Witching Hour.
“Greta, darn it, I told you NO KIDS ALLOWED!” Hans roared as he looked at a sticky trail of bubblegum clinging to the bottom of his boot. “The clan is going to yank our liquor license!”
“Keep your lederhosen on!” Greta clucked at her controlling brother. “Those ‘kids’ are dwarves you idiot. Oh, sorry! I mean, ‘little people’. ” Greta quickly corrected herself when the surly one threw her a nasty glare.
“I don’t give a poisoned apple what they are!” Hans was on a rampage. “If they don’t stop with the juvenile pranks I’m going to call in my last favor with the Queen.”
“You wouldn’t dare.” Greta narrowed her green eyes and pursed her lips.
“Try me.” Hans tossed at her while drawing a draft of Ruby Ale for one of the regulars.
“Aww, Hans,” Vlad whined, “How many times have I told you…no head!”
This only infuriated Hans. He was a stickler for detail and had never once forgotten his regulars’ idiosyncrasies. The distraction these “people” were causing him was out of control.
To make matters worse, Hans discovered that there had been a breach of privacy in the ladies’ room. Hell hath no fury like a Hans pissed off.
Saturday’s Special: Seven new delightful Amuse Bouche creations by Hans. Lovingly baked in the wood-fired oven, topped with his special bread crumb recipe.
We'll put off your caning for another day, Walt. You definitely are due a reprieve for such good work. Two thumbs up.
Deb, I loved the references too. Vlad.... finicky thing. LOL. Plus, the details...like topped with bread crumbs... perfect. I also liked the breach of privacy comment. That just goes to show you that I'm immature, though.
Wow, thanks Walt & Wendy! I guess I do my best work when I'm so tired I can't think too much. LOL Walt, as I said on your blog...LOVED your poem!! Yes, I am sick and twisted. It's awfully fun.
