Like all street hustlers,
every now and then,
every once in a while,
Bones will pull a client
that acts a little strange.

There was this guy
that picked him up
at Second and Brown.

The creep was driving
a shiny BMW machine.

The car was so shiny
you could see your face in it.

Bones climbed into the car,
it was immaculate,
smelled brand new and fresh.

They got to the guys house,
and the guy told Bones
to take his shoes off.

Bones thought that was
passing strange, but hey—
what’s a kid to do.

Bones was always
obliging by nature.

So he took his shoes off.
Next thing the client did
was ask Bones to take
a bubble bath, because
he looked kind of dirty,
and well—
didn’t smell too good.

After his bath,
the guy drove Bones
back home—

the guy said he didn’t
want to mess up
such a nice clean boy.

The bitterness of this was tempered by the last stanza, dear Bobby.

If only we could keep the world clean of such miseries as the exploitation of children.

You tell the things how they are and you do it well.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks Dear Margherita,

I share your wish for a cleaner world.

Happy endings are always refreshing, because they don't happen that often.

Thanks for your very kind words.

Love Bobby
