Bones hates his clients—
every last stinking one of them.

Oh yeah,
Bones knows it’s not right
to hate anyone.

He can’t help it though.

His clients treat him rotten,
you know they do,
and that’s not right either.

His clients are selfish,
self centered people.

All they think about
are themselves,
their cars,
and their money.

At least now Bones
has someone
he can confide in.

He can lay his head
in Griselda’s lap,
and tell her all about it.

Yeah,
he’ll admit it,
sometimes
he’ll really cry
out loud on her lap.

It gets her wet,
but she doesn’t
mind that at all.

She lets him do it,
and she doesn’t laugh.

Griselda’s the kid’s
only real friend,
the only one he can trust.

I'm glad Bones has someone to talk to.
We all need someone to confide in.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, Griselda is a good friend to Bones. She's a great comfort to him. Like I say, she doesn't laugh when he cries.

Love Bobby

Thanks Poddarku,

For the kind words on this effort. I always strive for "lucid".
