Mom takes it in her head that she’d like to throw a party. She needs an excuse, so she calls it a birthday party for Bones. She doesn’t invite any of Bones friends, but she makes sure she includes her own men friends. To make sure that they are entertained, she invites Bones older cousin Marika, and Marika’s husband Muck. The party’s getting wild, and Mom asks Marika to dance. Muck and Marika kind of expected that, and didn’t have any problems with Mom’s request. Muck takes Marika’s hand and leads her to the center of the floor. He starts to clap slowly, and Marika starts to dance slowly, taking off articles of clothing as she dances. She strips down to her bra and G-string. After a time, Marika is starting to show signs of fatigue and stress, and perspiration is running down all over her beautiful body. Muck just claps faster, and Marika dances faster. Finally, Marika drops to her knees in from of Muck, and he relents, he allows Marika to stop her dance. Marika runs over to Bones, the party Boy, and picks him up in her arms. Marika hold on to Bones until Bones gets restless. It’s late anyway, and Marika carries Bones up to his bed, and tucks the tired child in. Bones loves his big cousin Marika. Bobby |

Thanks Yann, There are many ways of going in this world. Also, all families are different. Perhaps our hood is a little different from yours. Try and remember, Mom is really not the best mother. Bobby |

Makes me sad for Marika and for Bones. I'm even more eager to read her story and hear her happy ending. |

I have met Marika (she now owns a space on my book shelf), but I didn't know she was related to Bones. I like how the people weave around each other and come back to share a tiny bit more with their more recent friends. Thank you for this one, Bobby. It's excellent. Love, Alison |

Thanks dear Alison, I'm happy you enjoyed the poem. So many people in the hood are related. It's all one big happy family here. I remember Marika as a nice, kind, beautiful girl, and I'm pleased that she is happy on your book shelf. Please give her a pat for me, and tell her I said hello. Love Bobby |

Thanks Lindsay, For reading and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the write. It was a wild party. Mom didn't throw it for Bones, that was her excuse. Mom was not the best parent, in fact, she wasn't a nice person at all. Bobby |
