Bones is out in the street,
and on his own.  

He learns real quick
how to sniff out the phony.  

It’s a matter of survival.  

Out in the street,
you have to know
who’s real,
and who’s not.  

You have to know
who you can trust,
and who you can’t.  

One key
is the sense of smell.  

The phony
will tend to sweat a lot.

Bobby

If he stays there long enough perhaps he will learn that if he wishes to survive...none of the 5 basic senses can be trusted.   I wish him well    ::smiles::   enjoyed     as always

I reckon Bones could be very right. I never did trust Sweaty Tom.

Thanks XOx Uriah xOX,

What you say is kind of true.  However, his senses, along with his mind, are all that Bones has to work with.

Thanks Osprey,

Thanks for agreeing with Bones.  It's probably best to stay away from Tom.

A sensitive nose can be very useful.

Thanks dear Ida,

Indeed you are correct.  You're a very wise person.  You've heard of that old expression:

"I smell a rat."

Bones can smell rats too.  He has a very talented nose.

Love Bobby

how to sniff out the phony.  

It’s a matter of survival.  

And every sense has to be alert. *S* I guess the phony never realize they're giving signals that betray their masks.

Bobby,
Did Bones spend any time in Brooklyn?
He'd be right at home!

Thanks dear Suthern,

I don't think they do.  Of course some of them end up fooling even Bones.

Thanks dear Collins613,

No, Bones never spent much time at all in Brooklyn.  I'm sure he would feel at home there.  Bones feels at home most anywhere.  One of his kids lives in Manhattan.  Bones has spent a little time there.

Love Bobby

Thanks dear Shelerella75,

I'm glad Bones makes you smile.  He loves your handle, it's very original.

Love Bobby
