Outlaw

He fried a mean bird, the kind that almost hurt your gums. It was so crunchy, drumsticks that dripped with clear juices as you took that first bite. He was cool, a ladies man, with a sly smile, open faced gold tooth, and sweet tongue, master of eloquent vocabulary and classless opulence. His attentive manner caused me to drop my guard and love him instantly.

Nastiness was his specialty, whores he despised, filthy was his heart, and slut his favorite insult. Better than everyone, but envious of those who braved to confront his slight. He wore a uniform, drove his Mercedes, worked on base, and served his country with pride! Yes, an honorable, decorated, celebrated, narcissist is what he was. Unfortunately for me, he was my father in law………
