Bones gets taken in. He’s snatched right off the corner by the police. They take him down to the prescient, for a little talk with a sergeant Brown. She a pretty lady officer, and she talks nice to Bones. Bones takes a liking to her. “Bones, are you listening to me Bones?” “Yeah, I’m listening.” “It’s “Yes, I’m listening sergeant— you got that Bones.” “Yes. I’m listening sergeant.” “We’ve been watching you Bones, and we know what you’re up to. We don’t like what we see. If you keep it up, we’re going to have to send you away to a very unpleasant place for a very long time. We don’t want to do that, so we’re giving you a chance to straighten your life out. The Army needs you Bones. You go sign up, you’ll like it. Three squares a day, and a place to sleep.” “Yeah, okay, thanks sergeant.” Bobby |

Hello Bobby, the contact between Bones and the army unveils authenticity, almost some complicity, two destinies that fit at the same time with a forced consent, I don't know if it right however the poem is very enjoyable to read. thanks for the good work. yann |

If the Army helped our Bones become the man he is today, I am glad that he joined. Thank you, Bones, for serving. Love, Alison |
