Sheep Start Tech Startup, Invent App That Translates Bleats to Feelings

Ma blinked twice at neon fence,
“They’ve coded apps, it don’t make sense!”
Pa grinned, “They’re funded by the goats,”
While Lou took notes on sheepy quotes.
The app is called “eBaa,” real slick,
It chirps when woolly moods get thick.
Granny asked, “Does ‘meh’ mean sad?”
The app replied, “She’s mad at Dad.”
The preacher cried, “It’s Revelation!”
But still downloaded the ovine station.
Now sheep can text with just a bleat,
Their feelings mapped in charts so neat.
City tech bros pay in hay,
Just to pitch their apps the sheepy way.
IPO’s next–Wall Street cheers,
A startup built on grass and ears.
