Disclaimer: I don't own Bones!
Author: writingforthemoney (Tied)
Summary: Poem about Disclaimers. Inspired by a disclaimer that read, "I don't own them. Why doesn't someone just make a song out that?" I can't remember the author of that.
A/N: This started out as a Disclaimer poem… but transpired into something… a tad different… a Thank you of sorts…? Hope you like!
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones!
I'd like to have Booth as my knight
And Brennan as my teacher
Angela as my friend
And Hodgins and Zack
Giving me useless information
All the day long.
What would we do without
The Squint Squad and
The Sexy FBI?
Without the dutiful fans to whom
These lovely pieces of fiction are credited
The life of our friends above
Could very well be ruined.
Angela and Hodgins would realize their love;
But never follow through.
Zack would never find that one certain someone
That he can love.
Booth and his precious Bones would
NEVER get together.
And without us, the wonderful fans
Cam and Booth, would still be an item
For t'was us, through all our writings
That convinced the writers to break that up
FAST! (At least that's what I like to think!)
The ownership papers have been lost,
Fox stole the idea from us,
And Kathy Reichs didn't do it on her own;
Are just a few of the excuses
For our lack of ownership.
But what would we do without
The true writers,
The true owners?
We wouldn't be inspired
We wouldn't be required
To write the fluff, action and romance
That the writers love to replace with angst.
We the fans may want to be the writers,
But let's face it,
If they gave us everything we wanted,
We wouldn't have a reason to write.
So we may not be able to claim
Bones as our own, but the stories we write,
Will forever and always be ours;
Will forever and always be inspired by the true owners.
So on behalf of all the fans who write the true stories
Of Booth and Brennan,
Of Angela and Hodgins,
Of Zack's loves
And Cam's love life … or lack thereof,
I thank the creators,
The writers,
And the actors,
For giving us the basis of every word we write.
The End
