Little Bones
gets to share
Mom’s smokes.

Mom’s awful good
that way.

Mom’s generous
to a fault.

She thinks he looks cute
out on the sidewalk
with a butt
dangling from his lips.

I surely can picture him, in his grown-up attitude, dear Bobby.

Vivid slice of Bones' life.

Love,

Thanks dear Margherita,

Times have changed - I like poems that bring us to another place in time. This did that for me, Bobby.

Thank you.

Thanks dear Billie,

You will be happy to know that Bones has not smoked in about a year. He gave it up after about sixty years of happy cigar smoking at the urging of Angelo. Now Bones doesn't cough anymore.

Love Bobby
