Bones is in the forge,
heated and ready for the trip hammer—
boom-boom-boom.

One blow after another, it’s—
boom-boom-boom.

Yes, and that’s the way
Bones are formed—
boom-boom-boom.

That Bones type is quite the character I understand, so it's important to know how he originated and was moulded. I hope to read more of his adventures. Nice one Bobby.:-)

Rob, the first read of bones was bewildering, now I can't get enough of the niche genre you have created...Paul

Ever hear the song Bone Machine by the Pixies? Anyways, I like the imagery here. Bones to me is one of those marionette-like stone skeletons you get from a novelty shop, all antique-looking.
Pretty cool.

Thanks Hatmadda,

No, I'm afraid I never heard that song.

I hope you enjoy the Bones story.
