There are fifty new chicks peeping in our barn tack room this evening. \u00a0Not fifteen, fifty. \u00a0Our children are raising them to show at a local junior livestock competition. \u00a0Unfortunately, I lost all inspiration to write a creative piece for my faithful followers somewhere between the fairgrounds and our home. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Every single chick was incessantly peeping! \u00a0Classical music on the radio did not soothe them. \u00a0They did not quiet to learn about the great scientists of history and their discoveries on CD. \u00a0Nor did they respectively listen to\u00a0my daughter’s rendition of Mary Poppins\u2019 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. \u00a0We tried 10 minutes of silence to be an example to them, and yet they went on peeping. \u00a0I may have been able to think up something fresh and new to write this evening had\u00a0they at least tried to harmonize their peeping. \u00a0So, listen,\u00a0if you\u2019re ever being tailgated on some rural road one evening, please show some mercy and let \u2018em pass. \u00a0It very well could be a frazzled woman with fifty peeping chicks in her backseat desperate to get home to her franch. \u00a0You understand,\u00a0I can not think of anything to say other than \u201cpeep.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
