Boy Blue and the Haystack Signal Plan Revives Old Tale
A whimsical pastiche blends nursery verse with a Washington memo tone. It cites a 1943 act, calls for a horn signaling system for cows and sheep, and envisions blue and red signals for livestock presence and departure. The piece features mock officials, humorous names, and a satirical government inquiry into meadow and cornland management.
