Bones,
he’s got the big log
on his shoulders,
it’s way bigger than a chip,
if you know what I mean.  

He’s got scores to settle,
plows to clean,
some going way back when,
if you know what I mean.  

He treasures all the humiliations
and hurts he’s suffered,
if you know what I mean.  

It’ll take him until he’s ninety
To just get around to even starting,
if you know what I mean.  

Bobby

I do not believe I could compare my misfortunes to that of bones, but I have secrets.

Kind of like having so much to do that you're coming up on the backside of being done. I'm enjoying the complexity of Bones.

Bones is only hurting himself if he harbours grudges and hatred towards others for wrongs that he has received.  But I guess that Bones is only human like the rest of us.
