The face Bones
presented to the world
was always welcome.  

It was always smiling.  
That caught
people’s attention
instantly.  

People instinctively
liked what they saw,
and they would always
smile back.  

Bones smile probably
worked best
with older ladies.  

They seemed to like
his strong chin,
dark eyes,
and straight,
white teeth.

Bones,

Don't feel bad if no one likes your face.  I like it stareing back at me in the mirror every morning.

Thanks Yann,

What you say is very true, and smiles are always great for businness.  

Bones alway gets up in the morning, smiles in the mirror, and dashes his face with cold water to freeze his smile there.

Yes indeed, smiles attract smiles and we should do well to remember, so many people hurrying by with dark, gloomy faces.  I'm sure it's not so awful out there.  Put a smile on my face this one

Thanks Yann,

I agree with you.  The world needs more prophets like Bones.

I'm pleased the poem worked that way for you.

Glad you can splash water in the face you see every morning, my friend . . . when I do that the one in the mirror smiles at me and say's I missed...

Who is that guy anyway...

I, like you, do like seeing him each day though...somehow he "inspires" me....

Neat write...photo...

Thanks dear Ida,

Bones can't help but smile.  It's his nature, and it's good for business.

They smile to you face
all the time they what to take your place

Yo Andrew,

You have Bones pegged right.  He'll do most anything to get a buck.

From what I have read about Bones it makes me wonder what Bones plans to do with such a pretty face.  The circumstances certainly aren`t pretty, are they?
