The aged Bones sits around,
remembering the old days,
and how hungry he would get.

He remembers
pulling his first trick,
and the money
he got for doing it,
and how much it hurt.

Then he had money
to buy some food,
and he liked that a lot.

It’s surprising the habits
you can grow into
while coming along.

Bobby,

I have missed you lots. Are you better and does this mean that we will be seeing more of you again?

I miss Bones, but I miss you more.

Love,
Alison

Thanks dear Alison,

Bones and I are pretty much over our bout with hyponatremia. We are eating salt like good boys. I don't know what happened, we both have always liked a lot of sodium chloride. I'm thinking of installing a salt lick in the dining room.

Love Bobby

Almost sounds like prostitution.

yes, and now I am in the habit of checking in and seeing how old Bones is doing.
Sex is money, in any culture, in any historical age, some people want money, some want sex.
Sometimes it is for cash in hand, sometimes it is for preferential treatment.
It has always been this way, it is that way now, and it will always be this way.
Keep writing Bobby, we need storys.

Good one Bobby but you didn't tell us what sort of trick that he pulled. We all might

be able to make some money if we knew what it was. Take care and look after Bones.

Thanks Lindsay,

Turning a trick is an act of prostitution. It involves letting another person use your body for money. It is very painful, and you wouldn't want to go there, unless you had to.

I always look after Bones.

Thanks Bill,

For the good wishes. I was down with hyponatheria, a lack of sodium in my blood stream. I'm better now, and eating lots of salt.

Eating is definitely a habit it's hard to break... I hope Bones never knows hunger again... for food OR caring! *S*

I'm glad you're feeling better, Bobby!!

They say:' The boy is the father of the man.'
I reckon young Bones had a lot to teach the man.
Love ya , Bobby.

Thanks dear Suthern,

Bones got lucky in later life, and he no longer suffers that way.

Thanks for your kindness, I'm pleased to be feeling better too.

Thanks dear Osprey,

Yes, the boy did teach the older Bones a great deal. Actully, almost everything worthwhile that old Bones knows.
