Bones and Chink,
they’re the terror of the quad.  

They strut around the yard
like a pair of roosters.  

Bones is the smooth talker,
dressed nice in
sharp starched grays,
while Chick just kinda
stands around and smiles,
tapping his sharpened spoon
on his belt buckle.  

The boys are after
cigarettes and change,
you better not hold out,
that’s not wise at all.

Bobby

Good to see Bones with some back up.
He'll get ahead for a while and that's always good.

Thanks Eric,

Well, that's what gangs are about, isn't it.  It only a gang of two, but as you say, it's better than nothing.

Yes, it's always good to have a friend to help you.

Bobby
