Sheep Becomes Life Coach, Tells Herd to “Find Your Fleece, Not Your Lease”

Ma joined Zoom from the milking shed,
Pa took notes on what Sheep said.
“Baaaa-lieve in self,” the coach proclaimed,
“Stop renting dreams, get fleece unchained!”
Lou journaled goals with glitter pen,
Granny cried, “I feel reborn again!”
The preacher called it heresy,
But secretly booked a session three.
Sheep wore glasses, blazer tight,
Quoted Oprah, mooed at night.
“No more herding where you’re told,
Each baa’s a brand, go fleece the gold!”
The pigs rebranded as ‘grit experts,’
While cows launched books on ‘Mud & Shirts.’
Now the barn’s one TED Talk long,
Where sheep chant life with gospel gong.
