Rural Man Invents “Cowbell Alexa,” Ends Up Summoning Ghost of Johnny Cash
Ma asked, “Why’s the bell sing Folsom tunes?”
Pa replied, “It ordered beer and full moons.”
He rigged a cowbell with wires and code,
To ask the weather and lighten the load.
But when it clanged near midnight hush,
It summoned a bassline ghost named Cash.
“You rang?” the spirit asked real low,
As cows began to line-dance slow.
The barn lights flickered, the hay caught beat,
And tractors rumbled with ghostly heat.
Now every time it chimes at dusk,
The cattle croon outlaw ballads in husk.
“I just wanted forecasts, not this show,”
He said, as ghosts stole his rodeo.
