Sheep Forms Union, Demands Better Shears, Nap Breaks, and Less Mockery from Dogs

Ma said, “They organized the flock?”
Pa sighed, “Even the lambs blockin’ the clock.”
Sheep held signs with hooves held high,
“Respect our wool, let naptime fly!”
Goat yelled “Solidarity, Baa!”
As Dog barked, “This gone too far.”
“We want soft shears and pillow hay,
And no more fetch on Judgment Day!”
Rooster chaired the labor board,
Pig snored through motions ignored.
“No baa-shaming during chores,”
Read the clause they printed on barn doors.
Granny knit scarves in support,
Lou made chants in sheepish snort.
Preacher preached from a picket line,
Claiming fleece rights were near divine.
Now city slickers sign petitions,
Backed by sheep with bold ambitions.
