Cowboy Joins Local Book Club, Starts Feud Over “Pride and Prejudice” Interpretations

Ma said, “He threw shade with a bookmark?”
Pa sighed, “Said Darcy’s pride ain’t a walk in the park.”
He showed up in spurs and monocle glare,
Declared, “Lizzy’s sass ain’t remotely fair.”
City gals clutched their annotated notes,
As he called Mr. Bingley a man of oats.
“That Bennet father’s got lazy eyes,”
He yelled, “Shoulda raised ’em girls with pies!”
Goat quoted Austen in teary defense,
Pig diagrammed love on a white-picket fence.
Rooster tried peace with a Janeite quiz,
While Cowboy mocked their fanfic biz.
He re-wrote scenes with a whiskey twist,
And offered Wickham a cowboy fist.
Now the club meets inside a barn,
Where paperbacks are read with yarn and charm.
