he was a farmer too (and had a pipe)

dear little bo peep diary,

how do you fuck around and lose your sheep? how do you do that? mary had a little lamb and she didn't lose it? what was little bo peep doin that distracted her from watching her gang of sheep? or did mary just have a compliant lamb that always followed her to school and everywhere else? i bet little bo peep was a pot head. she had to be. who else would have sheep as pets. my uncle oliver raised sheep. his birthday is tomorrow. he built his house with mud from the creek and that bitch still stands and sold for a chunk of change you wouldn't believe if i wrote it down here. the barn where where sheep stayed is conveniently situated in the back of the property and the rolling hills back to the creek and tree line and cemetery on his lot. uncle oliver always said that fenced off tiny cemetery back there never bothered him, but it bothered my aunt donna and it bothered me too. it's just creepy- i thought- to have dead people in your yard- even if they are fenced in.
never lost his sheep
