I love it. The way you chew
The gum. Drooling occasionally
It makes you look cool. Supposedly.
Your tan is great, sexy and dark
And I absolutely love your swims
As your shinky skin spread over stream
Shimmers in the delicate sunlight. Awesome!
Your soft calls, oh! I understand them
So well, after all these years, I do
I really, truly, surely understand them
Your soft calls are voices of need
To them I surely ought to pay some heed
And yet you always seem to find
The grass is greener on the other side
My dear buffalo, I am surely amazed
How shallow you are, how you lack any pride!

i was wondering about what the twist could be the while first 12 lines...i was wondering about ur sexual orientation the last 2 lines...re-reading makes me wonder some more...:-P
Buck:) lollz!! I was aching to read ur comments on this one;)!
Disclimer: My experiments in writing are in no way connected to my love life or the real life of my friends:P:)~~!
Some Indian women are really like "Bhains"-the water buffaloes.
What the heck? Some even confuse their obesity to a sign of prosperity and are proud to display it. Wonderful indian costume called Sari and Bindi makes the miracle of feeling beautiful possible to any "ugly and shabby woman" by any self-determined standards, leave alone other's standards.
I would love to watch reaction of indian women to my comment. Throw as many brick bats as possible. Batting in full speed. all hits will be out of boundary.

Drooling sounded odd....put me on guard. The dark skin made me suspicious....being raised in the world of fair and (is) lovely..yet never the one to rule out possiblities..thought this still might not be a prank...and inspite of caution, the end was a smacking (-my-forhead-) surprise! Buffallo!!! Ha! My limited intelligence didn't think of That!!

Ummm....sorry to disappoint you buddy....but the first TWO lines give the ending away....
Chew?? Cud???
One really doesn't have to read the whole thing to know that you're talking about a cow (or a buffalo in this case)! I personally never met a girl who chewed cud....although I CAN remember one chewing on some other stuff...and that was very painful.....
But I digress......
