B is for Buffalo

A buffalo, I once knew
liked to chew and chew.
His bubble gum bubbles
he blew and blew.

Until one day

he caused a stir
when his bubble burst
and covered his fur.

His buffalo fur
was covered in pink,
but the worst part
was his sticky, sweet stink.

He took a bath
to scrape and scrub
but the buffalo fur
stuck to the tub.

   What are some of your favorite "B" words?  Can you write a poem today that includes the letter b?  Have fun writing.

A WORLD FULL OF B'S

Suppose the world
was all full of bees.
There'd be buzzing and bumbling
in all of the trees.

A bandanna wearing buffalo 
would play a banjo tune,
while Belugas and baboons
blow bubbles at the moon.

And an itty-bitty baby bear
hip-hops and bops in his chair
while a badger, none too soon,
plays a big, long, black bassoon.

Oh life would reveal so many mysteries
if the world was filled with all these B's.

    I think the summer heat is getting to me.  It was 107 again today, and can you guess what the predicted temperature is for tomorrow?  This poem is a riff on the letter B, can you pick your own letter and write a poem with lots of that letter?  Have fun.
