Cowboy Zoom Class Goes Wrong

Lou set up Zoom on Grandpa’s mule,
To teach young ranchers cowboy school.
Ma clicked “record,” then spilled her tea,
While Pa walked by in his BVD.
The preacher logged in upside down,
Granny mooed loud from outside town.
A steer took over keyboard space,
Typed “Y’all stink” and froze his face.
One goat drew mustache on the screen,
And clicked mute on the whole routine.
Lou tried to lasso a question mark,
Got tied to code and went full dark.
The school board called it brave and bold,
“Hybrid learning–but with mold.”
Now cowpoke kids just meet outside,
Where Wi-Fi don’t, but grit’s applied.
