Bones,
he met a fellow urchin
on the street.  

The kid was dressed kind of funny,
and Bones thought to make fun of him,
and laughed at the other kid.  

Mom tried her best to replace
Bones missing front tooth.  

That didn’t work,
and they settled upon
the development of a unique,
and characteristic whistle,
that would always be
Bones very own.  

Bobby

The first poem I ever memorized - oh, heck, I'll just recite it for you

stands straight and tall, speaks in a clear voice

I want to learn to whistle
I always wanted to
I fix my mouth to do it
but the whistle won't come through

I think perhaps its stuck
So I'll try it once again
Do people swallow whistles
Where is my whistle then

What can I say?  The meter is very good and you reminded me of this so it's all your fault that I recited it, Bobby.

You made me smile.

Thanks dear XGarapanX,

I'm very glad you enjoyed this little poem.  Pleases say hello to the "big guy" there in Smallville.

Love Bobby
