Bones has this little black book.  
He carries it in his shirt pocket.  

Bones black book has lots of pages.  
Each and every page is covered
with the names of people
that have done him dirt.  

Bones is a patient person.  
He just waits, and bides his time.  

Some of the names
have already been
crossed out.  

Soon enough,
all the names
will be crossed out,

and all of Bones little problems
will have then been dealt with.  

Bobby

The dirt was piled high
so high
it touched the sky
but the hole was deep
for Bones to reap
vengeance
in unsoiled sleep

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

While I would never advocate vengeance it would be foolish to deny its existance.   Bones is confronted with living in the presence of dissolving time.

Earl,

What is dissolving time?  Don't forget, I'm just an ignorant city boy.

Sorry Bobby for the vague comment.  What I meant was that Bones days were numbered for those who seek vengence often come to a bad end.

Thanks Earl,

Very few ending are good, or comfortable--the best are quick.

Don't worry, Bones never hurt anyone, and doesn't plan to.  He keeps it all in his head.

Tell Bones Bobby that vengeance is not a

good thing. he'll feel much happier if he banishes all those negative thoughts.

  Bobby, you have toooo nice a smile and hazel eyes to make me believe that you have all this hate bottled up inside of you.  Give that little BLACK book to the Devel and turn that smile to the LORD.


Love ya'   Billie C.

Thanks Lindsay,

I have discussed this matter with Bones, and I think we are making some headway.  Bones is coming around.

Thanks dear Billie C.,

For your kind and good advice for Bones.  Bones and Father John down at Mother of Divine Grace Church just down the street are very close.  

Love Bobby
