Little Bones is bummed out bad.  
It’s Christmas time again.  

He knows no one is going
to give him nothing.  

He decides he really deserves
something this Christmas.  

Very late at night Christmas Eve,
he goes out to the mail box for packages.  

He opens it up
(he has his methods),
and picks out some things
he might like.  

He didn’t take everything,
Bones never was hoggish.

painful to read...
just breaks my heart, I always give as much as I can, and not just at Christmas.

Thanks dear SEA,

Bones thanks you for your generosity.  I’m pleased the poem worked that way for you.

Love Bobby

How sad, Bones needs a mommy to love him and give him things.

Thanks WolfHeart,

Bones has a mommy, however, I'm afraid she doesn't care much about him.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Bill,

What you say is very true.  

Bones always did take care of himself when he was a kid.  It was a necessity for him to do that.  No one else was going to care for him.
