Brother Bones
Brother Bones and I
sunny blue day sittin’
in deep river dry
Brother Bones says, walkin’ in rain
under umbrellas
everyone looks the same
Brother Bones skirted with Della
to ride the miracle pie
colored candied guava
Brother Bones way up high
does festive bit
through daydream sky
Brother Bones says, the present
isn't the past
if the future isn't here yet
Clever Last Verse

Thanks, interesting take on
Thanks, interesting take on Brother Bones. I hadn't thought of that angle. For me, it was a museful nickname. I attempted to strengthen the pull for the sexual allusion of "miracle pie" with "skirted with" and "colored candied quava."
Miracle pie
Enjoyed
