Rancher Trains Coyotes to Herd Tourists Into Gift Shops

Ma grinned, “Them dogs sure know retail.”
Pa bragged, “We sold ten mugs ‘fore lunch trail.”
Instead of sheep, they guide the crowd,
Howlin’ slogans real proud and loud.
“This way, folks, to hats and jerky!”
While one coyote mugs in a shirt that’s quirky.
Tourists think it’s “authentic lore,”
Till they realize they’re outside the store.
They buy lollipops shaped like boots,
And t-shirts sayin’ “Yeehaw Hoots.”
Meanwhile, coyotes swipe the tips,
And livestream merch from their hips.
The rancher rakes in sales with glee,
Thanks to MBA-trained wildlife spree.
