Butch and Wawa
get wind that Madam Queen
has snatched Bones
off the Avenue.  

They don’t like that one bit.  

Madame Queen tried that
with little Marika,
and they got together
and saved her
several months ago.  

They get a gang together,
go over to Madame Queens’s place,
and deliver their ultimatum—

“You let Bones out,
or we’re going to tear your place apart,
and feed you to the fishes.
We have the barrel and concrete ready.”  

That works,
and Bones is released at once.  

Madame Queen
is an evil old lady,
but she’s not dumb.

Bobby

Nothing like street justice- people need it a whole lot of the time.

I've been rescued once or twice, and I know the Eastwood moment of one eye brow raised:

"yeah?"



No more need be said.

Street life and the principles of survival... Wonderfully fresh painting.

Whew!
I was worried after reading the last input on Bones.

Thank goodness for the gang, Bones has had enough trouble without being imprisoned.

Not to be let down by his friends was probably something Bones counted on and something that gave him hope in a very bad situation.

Always you offer impressive city stories, dear Bobby.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks Paul,

Yes to street justice.  You are correct, it's needed sometimes.  I'm pleased this poem worked that way for you.

While I'm not up on Eastwood moments, I am very pleased that you were rescued, and that you are still in circulation.

Thanks Eric,

You are absolutely correct.  No one needs to be imprisoned.  That’s a real horror.

Thanks dear Sarah 45,

For your kind words.  Bones was also very glad he was rescued by his friends.  He was lucky to have friends that cared about him.

Thanks dear Margherita,

Bones was lucky to have such friends when he needed them.

There are about 1,500,000 people in my beloved city, and every last one of them has a story to tell.

Love Bobby
