Funny bones
Spoken by a man named Jones’
Jones’ bones are funny indeed
He keeps them strong by eating peas
Once upon a time one day
When all was quiet and the sky was grey
Here comes Jones with his funny bones
To light the hearts and right the wrongs
He tells the story of a little boy
Who played contently with his toy
An old man comes and asks the boy
“What’s the purpose of playing with that toy?”
The little boy stops and thinks awhile
And then he says with a smile
“This here toy I built myself”
“Cause I’m not a little boy I’m a little elf”
The old man looks on quite amazed
He stood and watched in a clouded daze
He’d remember this moment for the rest of his days
Who would have thought such a being existed?
Is it me or is life really twisted?
Jones’ bones are funny indeed
Funny bones
Funny bones
Funny bones Jones
shows things aren’t always what they appear to be
Not only are your poems beautiful but you give them a sense of humor as well. You are very talented and versatile, and that is such a great combination.
Funny Bones Mr. Jones!
Indeed your words are fine,
A smile you gave, and one I leave,
while I read and enjoy your mind.
Izzy.
