Peaburger Prairie Dog

There was no activity at all in the prairie on this marvelous day. Peaburger was happy to be off on his journey, on his sweet way. Had a knapsack on his back, and warm ideas in his adventurous heart. He could hardly wait to get away from his ex-wife and make a new start. Ex-wife had moved back in with her new husband and their kids five. He did not care if he ever again saw any of these prairie dogs alive. His ex-wife came to the mouth of the hole and yelled “happy be!” He rolled his eyes, not caring about her, or her new husband Gree. I am just too generous, too giving, the always-will-finish-last kind of guy, He lamented as he walked, talking himself into being meaner with try. Around noon he got out a peanut, and started to eat with his crackers. He was promptly surrounded by five hungry spotted nutcrackers. He rolled his eyes to the sky and asked “Why God? Why me?” He had given those nutcrackers all his food by a quarter until three. I'm doomed to always be that kind of guy he lamented to angels above. Young frisky prairie dog who had been watching promptly fell in love.
