Visiting My Father Over The Thanksgiving Weekend

We took Bones
and Henry with us
on Thanksgiving

vacation to LA,
to visit my father.
Mr. Bones heard

a local news report
about a gang shooting.
So, Mr. Bones

did a quick
research in
his own mind.

"You know,
these Crips, and Bloods
and Eses,

they’re as dumb as the
La Brea tar-pits,
fighting

over turf
that belongs
to the white man!"

My father laughed.
Miles later, dad pointed out
the dinosaur gift shop

in Cabezon
as we sped along
in his Studebaker---

a dinosaur
in its
own right.
