Old Bones is standing in line
at the local liquor store.  

A younger man
taps him on the shoulder,
and says—

“Hey,
I bet you’re a veteran,
aren’t you.”  

Old Bones says—
“Why, yes I am.”  

The young man says
“I am too.  
It’s really nice to meet you.”  

They shake hands,
and pick up
their bottle of booze.

Bobby

Normally I’d take this one down because no one’s bothered with it.  

However, I’ll leave it up as a thorn in the side of those that despise veterans.

Love Bobby
