“A Buffalo’s Buffet”

 

Maple syrup from Vermont,

 and homemade pancake mix,

 apples, pears and grapes,

 raisins on hot grits

 

Orange juice from the sunshine state,

 milk from Old McDonald’s farm,

 fresh eggs from the chicken coop,

 behind the family barn

 

Apple pie from Albany,

 bacon from a buffalo,

 music from a blackbird,

 a robin and a crow

 

Pumpkins trucked from Pennsylvania,

 cupcakes from Connecticut,

 call it breakfast or buffet,

 just bring your appetite and sit . . .
