Like any “boy”
from out the hood,
Bones has many names
by which he’s called.  

Some aren’t very nice,
given the trade he’s in.  

That really doesn’t matter much,
as long as there’s dollar signs
attached.  

You can call Bones anything you like,
just as long as those dollar signs
are firmly attached.

Bobby

Yo Bobby, we had different names when we were young boys too. Hope things will change when Bones grows up.

Thanks Prasad,

Yes, you will be glad to know, once Bones grew up, people settled on only one name.  The older, less complementary names were forgotten.
