Bluffalo Bail

by Ruth S. Baker

“Blond Bangladeshi buffalo nicknamed ‘Donald Trump’ saved from Eid sacrifice”
The Guardian

A buffalo in Bangladesh
Has saved his skin (and also flesh)
By brandishing a goldish tuft,
Which, matutinally fluffed,
Liquesces his admirers’ hearts,
Short-circuiting their thinking parts,
And justifying all denials
Relating to the Epstein Files.
