Little Bones is good at what he does.  
Of course what he does is highly illegal.  

He doesn’t let that discourage him
from doing it well.  

He’s well spoken,
and always polite.  

That’s one of the things
that keep him from getting beat-up
when he’s brought down by the police.  

They like the way he talks,
and uses the English language,
just like he was an educated person.

The teachers taught him good,
down at
Mother of Divine Grace School.

Bobby

Food for thought, dear Bobby.

It's good that Bones caught the chance to build the basics for a new life by using education to his benefit. It's never easy to rise above misery. Bones' school indeed must have been a very good school to allow him that leap.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Margherita,

Yes, Mother of Divine Grace school has always been a caring place for "bad" kids like Bones.

Love Bobby

I'm glad Bones had a good school to fall back on.

Thanks dear Ida,

All the schools here in the hood are very good.  They take good care of our kids, both public and Catholic schools.  We are lucky to have them, and they are lucky to have us.
