The Peek-a-boo Shepperd
Once upon a time there was a shepperd that used to play peek-a-boo
with the sheep.
He would run up in front of them and put his hands on his face
so that the sheep would not recognize him.
He would remove his hands for seccond and say,
"Peek-a-boo, I see you".
One day, the master called him over for a talk,
"Stop doing that to the sheep, you're freaking
me out". "I need you to make a run into town."
"And, don't stop any place going over there and
back".
"Where?", asked the shepperd.
"You know the houses", said the master, "the
orange one in the middle of the lot, and the white
one on the corner of the lot". "I'm tired
of eating lamb and potatoes, eggs and bacon". "And
I need some batteries for my remote".
"Can I take the new car?, asked the shepperd.
"No", said the master.
He did not like the old car, it looked like the
Harry Potter car only dull yellowed white.
It was five miles into town on the coast. He took
the dirt road to the two lane paved highway. He followed
the broken line going to town. He knew the master wanted
a t-bone steak, and maybe some
candy.
"Should I stop at the houses to see my girlfriend?
he was thinking, "What if the master is watching
with his binoculars".
Then, he saw her walking down the road.
He pulled off behind her, and honked the horn and
turned off the car. He covered his face before she could
turn around to see who it was.
She walked up to the door and looked to see who was there.
"Who are you?, she asked.
"Peek-a-boo", was the reply.
"Lend me five dollars", his girlfriend asked.
He gave her the money, not even thinking about it.
"I'll just get a cheaper steak" he thought.
He put the stuff on the counter, batteries, abba-zabba
candy bar, t-bone steak, some horoscope magazenes.
"You don't have enough to pay for this",
the storeman said.
"The master will be very angry with me if I don't
get everything", said the shepperd.
"I am having a miserable day, I want to go to the
beach but I must stay here at the 711", said the storeman,
"If you can make me laugh, I will forget about the five
dollars".
The shepperd pointed over the storeman's shoulder,
"What's that up there?"
The storeman looked back at the shelves, nik-naks,
a baseball, a reindeer jumping, a trophy, a small
glass vase with a blue ball and a long thin neck
with ruffles on top.
He turned back to the shepperd.
"Peek-a-boo, I see you."
He was on his way.
"I still do not understand why the master is so set
against peek-a-boo" , he thought on the way home.
"Chris-sake"
The End.
