Old Bones doesn’t feel
young at heart.  

He thinks that’s so much
false rubbish.  

People not wanting to admit
that they are old.  

Old Bones feels old at heart.  

He feels fortunate to be old,
to have survived,
when so many of his friends didn’t.

You make a good point.  That Bones is a wise one.

Thanks dear Alison,

Yes, it's true that Bones has learned a thing or two over the years.

I'mm pleased that you agree with Bones.

Love Bobby/Bones

Yes, Bones does have it rough.  I guess I got a little bit caught up in the story.

Feeling old at heart is much worse than just feeling  old.


Give Bones my regards...

Thanks Balladeer,

Bones enjoys being old.  He knows a lot of things, and people treat him right, better than he has ever been treated.  

At the same time, he is anxious to meet, and be with, many of the people that have gone before him.  It’s a complex, and special issue.

Sounds like poor old bones is getting a bit

mixed up in his old age Bobby, tell him it's time he took a holiday.

Yo Lindsay,

Bones is always on holiday.  That's the name of the game.

Bobby
