skeletons have boyfriends too

laughing, smiling,

she plops onto his lap,

eskimo kisses him

and wraps her big fluffy scarf around his neck.

he shifts her,

grimacing,

then returns her fading smile

that turns quickly to a question.

he dips his head

and slides his stubbled cheek

along her smooth one,

his breath tickling her

and making her shiver,

saying softly into her small ear,

"your a*s is kind of bony."
