Notes About The Poem

7/4/2023

No doubt you've heard that the National Park Service has warned Yellowstone visitors to keep their distance from bison after a rise in incidents.  July is National Bison Month.

Yellowstone Bison

“Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam …” —Dr Brewster M Higley VI


Oh, give me a home ...
where the big bison bellow,
bellowing in beautiful
bucolic backgrounds,
backgrounds begging
backpackers beware,
beware of being beset by
big bison bellowing!

Beset by a bison?
Bison basics best behavior—
Better to back up bovine-like
than be busted up by a bison

Better believe it!
