I love this. After the first stanza (is that the correct term for it..?) your tempo seems to go a little off though. Perhaps if you shift ‘with’ from the 4th line of stanza two to the 3rd.. so

But it’s all tiny like that. The love the whole vaudeville scene- and it was darkly twisted! Just the way I like it ^.

I knew the tempo was off—I did it mostly on purpose to get across his way of saying it. If anyone else really thinks it doesn’t work, then I’ll probably change it.

Thanks for the comment.

Most twisted indeed! I may comb through it again for the nitty-gritty, but on the whole it’s exactly what I’m looking for in this challenge.

Thanks for entering!
(and aren’t you glad you didn’t “cheat”? ^^)

’Twas KILLER! Keep writing.
