Bones doesn’t mind having people hate on him. No, that doesn’t bother him one little bit. People have been hating on him all his life. Bones has always been looked upon as a rather major inconvenience, yeah, right from the start. When he was born, it was decided that it was way too inconvenient to take him to the Church to be baptized. So his Mom invited the priest to come over to the house and do the job. She couldn’t pay anyone to even stand for the kid. Now don’t go getting the wrong impression that that bothers Bones. No, he really doesn’t give a rat posterior about stuff like that. A person can’t be bitter about anything. There’s no money in it. Bobby |

Hi Bobby.. I don't think anyone hates bones.. Its such sad tales he shares.. It makes people feel bad.. seeing all the hurting and the wrongs.. when someones hurting, especially a child.. I wanna help repair him and right all the wrongs.. but when its beyond my control, and hurting is all we can feel and do.. I wish him to be gone,sigh.. Another harsh look at reality, I pray for him be strong.. Although somethings we should not share, some harsh reflection with the majority, as some have walked the path you speak and are not very strong.. Thanks for sharing this with me.. I pray for your growth every day.. |

Great poem. I really like this one. Stanza 8 needs a fixin', dear rob-bob. Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

Thanks Paul, For your very kind words on this poem. I hope I've found the error in stanza eight, I think I did. Thanks for pointing it out. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (11-14-2008 09:39 PM).] |

I don't think anyone hates Bones either, certainly not anyone at PIP. There's no money in it. Ida |

Thanks dear Ida, The phenomenon of hatred of the less fortunate is a concept I’ll never understand. Love Bobby |

My, the sting is certainly strong. It is a stroke of reality when one realizes that such cases are common in the world today. Shouldn't it say "a rat's posterior" instead of "a rat posterior" in stanza 9?I'm not sure since it's up to the author how they wish to write the poem...  Thank you for sharing. ~Lia |

Thanks dear HeliaHeart, You are correct. I'll have to change it in the original. It's too late to change it here. Love Bobby |
