Bones can’t stand
for brazen punks
that strut around
acting tough.  

They don’t scare him
in the least.
No not one little bit.

Punk comes around
to bother Bones.  

Bones asks him why
he’s walking that way.  

Punk says--why I do it
to scare
little creeps like you.  

Bones lays him out
with a sucker punch.

The Punk
never saw it coming.

Bobby

Haha! That made my day a little brighter.

Last week I had a similar encounter with two punks near a local college. I was walking along and I looked at them, like humans look at other humans.

similar thereafter.

I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at the sucker punch line. You should publish this so people can laugh at it...

Thanks Viking_metal,

Here in the hood the "sucker punch" sometimes comes in handy.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the poem.

If you lived here in minnesota, I'd request to go out to coffee with you.

Still laughing at the sucker punch line if I say it out loud...
