Cowboy Starts Support Group for Men Who’ve Been Out-Mooed by Their Cattle

Ma said, “He cried into a salt lick?”
Pa groaned, “Them bulls got TikTok slick.”
At sundown they met in the old feed shed,
Sharing tales of pride left for dead.
“I roped her in, but she went viral,”
Said Tex, whose cow won Grand Ol’ Spiral.
“Mine sells merch and signed with CAA,
While I just herd all night and pray.”
They passed around beef jerky tissues,
While Dale confessed to bovine issues.
“She’s got a podcast, merch, and boots,
I’m just stuck cleanin’ up her poops.”
Granny brought cobbler to ease the shame,
While Goat chanted each cowboy’s name.
Preacher blessed their broken drawls,
And warned of pride in pasture stalls.
Now city therapists take notes,
On men outdone by ruminant GOATs.
