I saw a Buffalo one day <br />An animal that is so immense <br />I was walkin’ along the road <br />And suddenly I grew extremely tense <br /> <br />I thought I’d keep on walkin’ <br />Perhaps he wouldn’t even see <br />If I was on the other side of the road <br />Maybe he wouldn’t notice me <br /> <br />I slowly crossed the road <br />But the closer he became <br />I thought of many escapes <br />But they all were pretty lame <br /> <br />Then he stopped completely still <br />I froze right where I stood <br />He slowly turned his massive head <br />And then I understood <br /> <br />Here came another Buffalo <br />Who obviously was a lady <br />Walking kind of anxiously <br />And by her side was a baby <br /> <br />He started then toward them <br />And much to my surprise <br />He greeted them so lovingly <br />Right before my eyes!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-buffalo-sighting/
