Meeting the Pipe Smoking Buffalo
I had never met a buffalo who smokes a pipe.
But this one did it without any kind of hype.
It looked natural hanging from the big guy’s mug.
I saw his wife merely give him a tiny bit of a shrug.
So he smoked a pipe, I said, sidling up to her.
Yes, she said, and I wish I had a cure.
It’s a sickly sweet smell, and it makes me feel sick.
He won’t get rid of it, so I guess he’s thick.
The buffalo king smiled at his honest wife.
I wish I could quit, he said, but I am hooked for life.
Moral of this story, is do not start little one.
I liked that he called me this. Being petite is kind of fun.
