Bones smells money
in those blizzard winds.  

He’ll shovel your walk
for a simple fiver,
unless you have
too long a walk,
then it’s a tener.  

Bones does good work,
so don’t hold out on him,
don’t be a chiseler.  

He’s learned to get
his cash upfront.

Bobby

Thanks dear Billie,

Thanks for the kind words on my poems.  

As far as the picture goes, as Bones would say:
"What you see is what you get."

Love Bobby

Bones is smart.  Not only will cash line his pockets, but he will work his cardiovascular system.  Go Bones!

Thanks dear Alison,

You are correct.  He was just to the doctor's today, and he's in excellent health.

He still does walks, but now he doesn't charge people.  It's a part of a group of neighbors who sholvel sick or old people walks.

Love Bobby

I don`t think Bones will find work in the heat of August, but will look for it  elsewhere.  -----  I always look forward to Bones adventures even when they are out of season.

I know this is somewhat of an irregular reply but are you the author of `City Boy Stays Alive` and `Felix`?  Have you written any other books?  Is the first book mentioned above about `Bones`?

Bobby - Bones can come up and shovel my snow whenever he would like. Wages are good, and food also if hungry...

well, I admire Bones. I have been down and sold plasma for a twenty twice a week but I don't believe I could shovel snow. I would have thought that I could before I moved here, but now I know.

I was fairly certain that it was your book so I placed an order for `City Boy Stays Alive`.  I don`t know why you haven`t told others about the books that you have written.  The book got a good review at Amazon.com

I guess bones has lost a bit of trust along the way by now wanting cash up front but at least he's profiting by it so perhaps no bad thing.
