Bones is dissatisfied with the money he’s getting for himself. He’s feeling more and more like a jukebox, with clients dropping in a quarter, and expecting a dollar song. Bones thinks that’s really rotten, but— there’s nothing he can do about it. He has to eat. Bobby |

Bones may be lucky in a way. If you have ever seen the movie `Midnight Cowboy` you would realize that most individuals in Bones profession do not have steady clients and live far worst lives. Also, when they do score there is no guarantee that they will get paid. |

Thanks Earl, I'm afraid that's one movie that Bones and I have missed. Thanks for the tip. Bones is somewhat moody. Bobby |

A lot of people are feeling that way these days (i.e., exploited)... or so I have read and heard. May Bones's jukebox never blow a fuse. |

Thanks Easy1, Don't worry too much about Bones. He's been doing his trade for a number of years. Bobby |

If you gotta be Bones you may as well get paid for it... and those quarters... well they mount up don't they? A poet must leave traces of his passing not proof. |
