Mom and her latest man
are sitting out on the stoop,
a warm May night.  

There sitting there,
each one nursing
a quart of cold beer.  

They have the radio playing
a sweet,
romantic tune.  

Mom and her new man
are a little tipsy.  


They decide to
start in singing
with the radio.  

Bones waits until the pair
starts slurring their words
to the song.  

They’re obviously out of it.  

Bones is sitting
across the street
talking to Wawa.  

“Yo Wawa,
I’m going to nail
those two fools.”

Bones sneaks over,
and turns the radio off.  

Mom and her man go nuts,
start screaming
and making a big loud fuss.  

You can hear them
all over the street.  

Bones decides
he better not go home
that night.  

He gets Wawa
to put him up.

Bobby

Bobby - I'm glad Bones knows Wawa. Good that he stayed there after Bone's revenge...

Bones has some revenge in his soul.
That's what happens when one doesn't get used right.
Good work Bobby.

Vivid, evocative, well-executed. Bobby, you are one of the few writers I know that can pen this down right. We are thankful.

Thanks Bill,

Yes, Wawa has always been a good friend.  Where would we be without friends like Wawa.

Thanks Eric,

Yes, you've hit the nail on the head.  That's what revenge is all about.  Bones tries not to think too much that way.  It bothers him a lot.

Thanks Marc-Andre,

For the kind words.  This incident is vivid in my memory.  It was fun.
