Bones will fight you
anytime—
night or day.  

Call him out anytime,
and anyplace,
he’s ready.  

Bones has this reputation
of being fast with his hands.  

He’s a ticking time bomb,
and it takes almost
any little thing
to set him off.

If he lived in the burbs,
he probably would have
killed someone by now.

Bobby

Bones is a survivor. He may, at times, have need for his fast fists, but more so his wits. He has an abundance in that department, and they'll serve well.

Why is Bones always so ticked off?

If you really want to get to the bones of humanity, tell me that bones prays for skin...

Show us the skin of bones, lovie.

(I like what you're doing, I just want more than marrow.)

and um, no offense, but the critique flag IS on.

I like bones. Couldn't do a damned thing without'm.

Thanks dear Serenity blaze,

For reading and commenting.

Bones has very thick skin, and he's not "ticked" off all the time.  It's just a rough neighborhood.  He has to take care of himself, and his Mom.

Love Bobby

I want to know something.  If Bones is such a mean old thing, likes to fight and all that, Why does he have this cute cuddly sweet, purring pussy cat as a mas-cot or symble or what have you?

Thanks dear Billie,

Try to remember, that even the "meanest old thing" has a soft side.  Bones loves cats and dogs.  Right now he has a beloved dog named Hilda.  The next door neighbors have a nice cat, along with five lively kids.  

Love Bobby

Just kidding sweety.

I, myself have more dogs than the law allows, try seven. and eleven cats.    The town knows that I am a member of the Humane Society so I get all the drop offs.     Then I get them all fixed and I can't part with them.   I think sucker in writen across my forhead.
