Bones and Griselda
are way provincial,
yes,
I’m afraid that’s true.  

You’ll never get them
out of the city,
no,
not for any reason at all.  

They never travel
far from the house,
there’s no reason to.  

All the truly
beautiful people
live right here in the
City of Philadelphia,

with colonies
in New York City,
Yokohama,
Florida,
and California.

Bobby

Bobby you're a lover of the hood.

Hey man, that's your roots and can be expected. Especially nice when you're happy that's what counts.

Thanks Critical mass,

I was talking about my own family.  Of course beautiful people are everywhere.  Right now I'm listening to lound bang bang noises coming from up the street.  Beautiful peolpe sometimes make bang bang noises.  We average one murder a year here in the hood.  It's sometimes a quick way to go.

Those colonies are where my kids live.

This is my home, and I love it.
