Calf Joins Local PTA, Demands Grass-Fed Vending Machines

“The snacks are trash,” young Bessie moos,
“We need more oats and less fake chews.”
She marched right in on little hooves,
With slides and charts and dietary moves.
“Processed corn is not a meal,
Bring back clover, keep it real!”
The PTA sat stunned in place,
As she licked a handout with grassy grace.
The vote passed swift, the school went green,
Now vending’s filled with grazing cuisine.
City moms cried, “What’s this mess?”
Kids now chew cud beneath recess.
But Bessie beams, her cause intact,
“Better poop scores and bellies packed.”
