so it looked like it was back to the petting zoo for them.

Oh Happy Day! Mimi now had the latest app to remind her
of her daily appointments - scratch for worms, lay an egg,
peck at corn, go to sleep. This was certainly a relief!!
Sometimes facts and figures and polls and statistics don't always tell a true story. Or perhaps they don't tell ALL of the story. Nothing is quite as dynamic as words.
The Board didn't have any actual figures, but Lydia's lovely
little poem gave an accurate description of their status.
