Bones and his band of street urchins are out howling like banshees. Running up and down the street, they don’t care about nothing, and that’s just fine. It’s when they’re quiet that you have to worry. Then you know they’re planning something, plotting some outrageous disorder, and threat to the general public safety. It’s a real bad sign when they’re quiet. It’s then best to turn out the lights, lock the doors, and pretend no one’s at home. Bobby |

Yeah and then they think that the house if okay to rob. I keep my lights on and my ears tuned - and I sing ... Ali's got a gun. Ali's got a gun. She ain't havin' no fun So Ali's got a gun. Aerosmith sings it better, but my message is easy to understand. A |

Thanks dear Alison, For reading and commenting. I don’t own a gun, and don’t need one. I’d be afraid of shooting one of the neighbors like Bones. The hood is noted for its burglars, books have been written about them. “Confessions of A Second Story Man—Junior Kripplebauer and the K & A Gang”. Needless to say we don’t steal from each other here. Love Bobby |

But I actually believe it's better to turn on ALL the lights and put up cardboard silhouettes of "people with guns" in every window. ·´~`·»Brett«·´~`· |

Thanks dear Shellie, That's very tricky of you to do that. I bet they still believe that to be true. Love Bobby |

Thanks Yann, There's no need to be scared. Bones and his gang are harmless. They were out in front of the house late last night making a fuss. Bobby |

It's always the harmless ones that get you. Just when you think your safe they strike. A fellow should wear kevlar just in case. |
