Bones sit in his cell
at the juvenile
detention center.  

He trying to figure out
what he did wrong,
why he’s locked up.  

The judge used
all these big word,
such as prostitution,
delinquency,
and a whole bunch
of other stuff.  

He has no idea what
all those words mean.

Hello Bobby. It's good to be back and to see you again. Bones is new to me, so I'll be getting acquainted, and I'm sure it will be quite an adventure. The thought that Bones is oblivious to the words uttered by the judge suggests that he is absorbed in a world where the actual experience, not the words, are the reality he knows. Just a way of looking at it.

Regards,

By golly Bobby you will have to put in a bit extra time with Bones and show him what those words mean, smiles.

Thanks LindsayP,

I did explain the words to Bones.  He said--"Oh, that."

This certainly is a recurring theme of yours and I don't know the origin but the words and the situations certainly tickle my imagination......Takes it in a lot of directions actually........

Very thought provoking.

Thanks Bill,

I'm pleased you like reading about Bones.  Bones is doing much better these days, and he's staying out of jail.
