Buffalo Wings

Belinda Dobie 1971 (South Africa)



In the land of Faraway,
Twelve small buffalo like to play.
They can do amazing things
As they each have a pair of wings.
In the rain, cozy and warm they lie
Wings wrapped around to keep them dry.

Then the hot sun comes to warm
The busy bees who like to swarm.
The buffalo wings are then shed
And they fatten up on fries and bread.
The buffalo wings we like to eat
As a special takeout treat.
And hope that come next rain
Those buffalo will grow wings again.
