Let's Twist again.
Has it been 107 years already? Well well time does fly. Anyways as it turns out, on this evening back in '08 (1900 and
that is), 'Ol Kid Twist Zweifach himself went out to Coney Island for
opening day
with his pal Cyclone Louie. In tow were a couple of dames who earned their coinage as
singers in the Coney Island resorts. The warbler with Kid Twist was the
former twist for an Italian hood named Louie the Lump. To make a
short story shorter guntoting Louie caught up with Kid Twist on the boardwalk and
perforated both him and Cyclone Louie but good. If memory serves, once
the Kid and Cyclone got their shares of lead they stumbled into a hotel's
grand re-opening day flower display and spilled themselves amongst the blooms and bunting before expiring from this
life. I guess they didn't see the sign in the lobby that read: No
Spitting, No Cursing, No Getting Killed.

Louie the Lump, not to be confused with Louie the Lamp, who was known for saying "Lights out, pal," just before shooting his victims.
Louie the Lamp never got his proper due.
