Farmer Accidentally Teaches Goats to Vote; Wins County Election in Landslide

Ma said, “That goat’s got a better turnout than you.”
Pa nodded, “And a tighter platform too.”
He trained them to nod for corn,
Now they cast ballots each crisp morn.
Election Day brought bleats and brays,
As goats lined up in orderly arrays.
“Hoofprint ID,” the judge declared,
While chickens clucked and turkeys stared.
Goat Mayor passed bills to ban the leash,
And replaced Congress with a dairy sheesh.
Voter fraud? The feds did peek,
But found the goats were literate and sleek.
Now ranchers run campaigns with hay,
And goats debate on C-SPAN play.
