Today’s edition of the continuing saga, Wanderin Man – 7 – The Game After The Game
*WANDERIN MAN* “ THE GAME AFTER* THE GAME”* Well, it’s a mighty big payday time fer movin on, the big talker who’d lost was already up and gone. With my pockets a bulgin I head fer the door hopin Smith-N-Wesson will even up the score. I watch fer a group a fixin to leave, hopin the extra numbers discourage the thieves. Big dollar games attract lots a lookers, not jist the crooks, often times hookers. I’m jist a lookin fer cover, a way out a this dive, need to git to my hog an git there alive. Once I’m on the road I know all the tricks, but til I git to my hog I’m still in a fix. A lady of the evenin, one I call “friend,” kindly makes the offer to lend me a hand. We walk out together, she calls the valet. When he brings up her car a hundred dollar chip is his pay. I said you haven’t seen us we’ll be back after dinner, gave him a wink so he’d think me a sinner. We drive fer a spell, then stop fer a bite, I spring fer a room, an her rate fer the night. We rest fer an hour er so then back to the dive, I hop on my hog pretend it has overdrive. Then it’s back to the room, no sense wasting a bed, I’ve an urge to party, but I’ll sleep instead. Tomorrow my bank roll will be in a real bank. Til then, time well spent, will be a watchin my flank. My lady of the evenin came along fer the ride. We’ll order room service an pretend she’s my bride. We’ll wake in the morning to a brand new day, find another new dive, there’s more games to play. *Copyright* *© 2011 Richard Lee King. All Rights Reserved.*

A hustler and a whore. Now that's a fine combination! I don't think this combination happens very often but it is certainly the stuff of legends of the wandering man.

The game after the game sounds like quite an adventure all by itself. Fun!

Got a lot of extra curriculum packed into this little episode, Richard. What awaits our wandering man, only the inquisitive mind of Richard Lee King knows. By the way, Lee was my father middle name.
