On rare occasions, Bones falls into the trap of contemplation. He remembers everything that’s happened. He does his best to avoid such thoughts. Instead, he’ll think up bizarre fabrications. They are things that can never be, and never were. Bobby |

"things that can never be, and never were" ... such as concepts like true 'justice' and most of what is written on the statue of 'liberty' [or in most of the high school American (mythological) 'history' books] applause for this 'penning'! |

Yo Secondhanddreampoet, Please don’t attempt to hi-jack my thread. Bones doesn’t care about American History. Bones is American History. Bones has good reason to take on American education himself, and he will. Thanks for reading. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (11-16-2008 07:32 PM).] |

Thanks dear 1slick_lady, Bones remembers all those people, and he's had lunch at Soupy Island lots of time. He's older than you might imagine. OOPS, He's a friend of Angelo's isn't he. I suppose all those things were before his time after all. Love Bobby |

Yo dear 1slick_lady, It's sad that Bones never got to have lunch, and ride the carousel on Soupy Island. He missed out on the boat ride, the companionship, and the wild fun of Soupy Island. Perhaps it would have made a difference in his life. That place was a lot of fun. Love Bobby |

Contemplation opens new horizons, even if they can't be reached, they are understood. Good that Bones had his "own fabrications". Young minds are immensely creative. Love, Margherita |

Yo dear 1slick_lady, OOPS, another mistake. Soupy Island is still around: http://investor.shareholder.com/campbell/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=321054 There are a lot of decent cops out there. Sometime I might write about one. Bobby |

Thanks dear Margherita, That is true. I remember sitting on the settlement house steps with Bones, and telling the most immense fabrications about or families, and our self. We knew it was all a lie, but we enjoyed it. Love Bobby |

Yo dear 1slick_lady, BTW I've already written about a decent cop, it's in my book Felix, page 93. It's titled "Felix and The Cop". I don't dislike cops. They have done too much for me. love Bobby |

I remember my own bizarre childhood fabrications. They can be very comforting. I am glad that Bones had his own as his own support system. - Owl |

Thanks dear Owl, You would never believe the lies Bones and I told each other. Of course we both knew they were lies, but that didn't matter. Love Bobby |
