Bones gets taken in.  

He’s snatched
right off the corner
by the police.  

They take him down
to the prescient,
for a little talk
with a sergeant Brown.  

She a pretty lady officer,
and she talks nice to Bones.  
Bones takes a liking to her.

“Bones, are you
listening to me Bones?”

“Yeah, I’m listening.”

“It’s “Yes,
I’m listening sergeant—
you got that Bones.”

“Yes. I’m listening sergeant.”

“We’ve been watching you Bones,
and we know what you’re up to.  
We don’t like what we see.  

If you keep it up,
we’re going to have to
send you away
to a very unpleasant place
for a very long time.  

We don’t want to do that,
so we’re giving you a chance
to straighten your life out.  

The Army needs you Bones.  

You go sign up,
you’ll like it.  

Three squares a day,
and a place to sleep.”

“Yeah,
okay,
thanks sergeant.”  

Bobby

Hello Bobby, the contact between Bones and the army unveils authenticity, almost some complicity, two destinies that fit at the same time with a forced consent, I don't know if it right however the poem is very enjoyable to read.  thanks for the good work.

If the Army helped our Bones become the man he is today, I am glad that he joined.  Thank you, Bones, for serving.

Love,
Alison

Thanks dear Alison,

The Army was the best thing that ever happened for Bones.

He learned a great deal.

Love Bobby
