Back behind Independence Hall,
Bones sits half naked
out on a tree limb.  

Bones knows who he is,
and where he is at.  

He likes to think of himself,
as a volunteer tour guide,
reminding tourist kids
that stop to talk,
that they are on holy ground.  

“This is where America started,
yes indeed,
this is where America started.”    

Bobby

Yo Yann,

It's great that you have picked up on the Philly "Yo".  It's an old friendly greeting here in Philadelphia.

I'm happy you enjoyed your visit to Independence Hall here in Philly.

Bobby
