Goat Becomes Life Coach, Offers Zoom Seminars on Boundary Setting and Salt Licks

Ma said, “That goat charges more than the doc!”
Pa muttered, “And gave advice to our whole flock.”
He set up Zoom near the milkin’ shed,
With PowerPoint slides on where to tread.
“Don’t let folks pull your beard for fun,”
He bleated wise, “and know when to run.”
“Say no to barns that drain your light,
And always climb to claim your height.”
He quoted Rumi, and occasionally screamed,
While chewing tin in a way that beamed.
City folks paid top dollar for access,
To learn goat wisdom and reduce their stress.
He closed each session with a bleat and bow,
Then meditated under a leaning plow.
