Bones gets no respect at all—
no,
none at all.  

Of course
Bones never expected
to get respect
in his line of work.  

After all
that’s what he’s selling to clients,
isn’t it,
his very own self respect.  

At least no one’s jealous of him.  

He doesn’t have
any green-eyed monsters
staring him down
every which way he turns.

Thanks Bill,

Thanks for the warning for Bones about walking in the park at night.  I've met one of those monsters.  When I was a kid I had a job working at a hotel up in Eagle Mere, PA.

I was walking in the woods one night when I saw two yellow eyes staring at me from the woods.  Being curious I approached like a dummy.  The thing let out a blood curdling growl, and I took off.  It was a bob cat.

Bobby
