Ono Motto Pete

Short poems written by my late husband, Laston Kirkland. I did not include his poem Eggs; it would not be accepted per Vocal rules.

“You sew that guy?” stitched Molly Props

“Sew? Do you mean see?” said Vera Fi.

“He’s a wolf in cheap clothing,” Molly Props said suitably.

“You mean sheep’s clothing don’t you?” Said Vera Fi.

“Why would a sheep wear clothes? Anyways, he said he wasn’t sick, but he gave me a cod.” Molly Props trouted.

“He gave you a fish?” Said Vera Fi

“Not official, but he did it on porpoise.” Molly Props trilled.

“He did what on purpose?” said Vera Fi.

“He didn’t wait at all, he snoozed right in my face!” said Molly Props sleepily.

“He went to sleep?” said Vera Fri

“No, he didn’t go anywhere. Now I’m elected.” Molly Props said stately.

“You mean infected? like the flu?” said Vera Fi.

“No we weren’t flying. It was on a bust, and a lot of people were inside it.” modeled Molly Props.

“A bus? Like for school?” Said Vera Fi

"No, we weren’t weighing anything with a scale. He probably made them all eel too.” said Molly Props fishilly.

“He cooked eel?” Said Vera Fi.

“I suppose he could deal, but I’m still mad. It would be bad if the diver got sick,” said Molly Props deeply.

“The diver? like a swimmer?” Said Vera Fi

“He can’t go swimming when he might be eel. We need him to dive the bust. He’s an export,” shipped Molly Props

“Every time I talk to you, Molly Props, I’m more confused than when I started.” Said Vera Fi.
