Bones is very well liked
by pawn shops in the hood.

As you may guess,
Bones enjoys being well liked.

It makes the kid
feel important.

He carries in the grandest stuff,
swiped from open cars.

They welcome him with open arms—
“Yo Bones, what you got there today?”

Sometimes former owners
spot things they might have “lost”.

“I don’t know who brought that in.
It happened on another shift.
We don’t keep track
of who brings these things to us,
or where they come from.”

Bones has this special arrangement,
with pawn shops in the hood.

Everyone ends up,
being reasonably happy—
no, not elated,
but reasonably happy.

Bobby

Thanks dear RDB,

Bones is many times happy in what he does. Bones has a very pleasant disposition. It comes with the territory.

Thanks for your kind words on the poem.

Love Bobby
