Dust Buffalos

Outside the sliding glass door were a fairly large herd
of dust buffalo.
Some had old leaves winding all through them, acting
as legs for their transportation needs, hoofs included.
As they could go no further they peered into see what 
was going on in there, and perhaps the sliding glass door
might open so they would not have to figure out how to go around.
So while peering inside this human's house a dreadful site met
their eyes - a domestic comrade, a certain dust bunny was running
for his life.
These buffalo watched in captivated horror as this bunny was 
yelling and screaming at them to run for their lives...
While he yelled and screamed his mouth seemed to flow far back,
wrapping around his face... for a large red contraption was spot on,
quickly nearing his very furry backside.
As he was making a mad dash he located a large sofa off to his right
and with a last ditch effort he broke off to the right from the ever
gaining suction from something called a Dirt Devil.  The lady who was
pushing that very evil contraption yelled out, "Oh no you don't! You come
back here!"  But this dust bunny quickly jumped under the large brown
sofa which made the human woman concede the victory to the ever
so sly bunny who avoided the deadly Dust Devil at least for the time being.
The woman said to this bunny now hiding under the sofa, "You might of had
a better end if you would just let me catch you. So you will live another day
until my energy catches up with me.  Lucky for you dust bunny I dislike
moving the sofa."
Outside the dust buffalo just sighed and looked at each other, then they 
just rolled to their sides and let the breeze blow them away.
