The streets of Philadelphia
are often graced
with missionaries
from far off jungle places.  

They’re looking
to score some points
in saving souls.  

They find the hunting
rather poor.  

They spot Bones,
and figure he might
just have the soul
they’re looking for.  

They corner Bones
against a wall,
and bore him
with their spiel.  

Bones, being Bones,
he offers up
a predictable response:

“What’s in it for me?”

Bobby

Thanks Secondhanddreampoet,

I'm very pleased this poem worked for you.

Every human soul is obliged to take care of their own welfare first.
