Turkey Leads Barnyard Self-Help Seminar, Entitled “Gobble Up Your Potential”

Ma paid ten eggs to sit up front,
While Pa brought corn and a paper stunt.
Lou sold merch–shirts that read “Cluck Yes,”
Granny wept at the turkey’s stress.
He strutted tall, with clicker in wing,
And said, “Every gobble can make you king!”
“Peck through fear, molt with grace,
Don’t be the bird that just stays in place.”
The cows mooed loud, the pigs took notes,
Chickens clapped with feathered throats.
The preacher left to write a book,
While the donkey signed up for a second look.
Now turkeys lead retreats each fall,
Where farmfolk dream and roosters bawl.
They chant their truths and stretch their flaps,
While goats in robes give grateful claps.
