Buffalo Marksmanship

Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to.
(Roger Miller)

Today we were driving through the narrow ranchland backroads from Gabriel Mills to Liberty Hill when we spied a sign on a fence that said, "Missing Buffalo, call xxx-xxxx"?

Now being a speculative feller, I naturally began to cogitate on the meanin' of that message???

If a buffalo was "missing" someone, should it call the number?

If your shootin' iron just couldn't seem to slay the beast, phone fer help?

If bison have decided to start shooting back, but can't master the intricacies of firearms.....

If ya had driven US 79 from one end to the other and couldn't find Buffalo, Texas???

If dwindling herds have lessened the frequency of sighting great beasts and ya wanted to start a breeding program......

If the nomadic grazer, commonly known to travel in herds, is looking for company and/or a romantic interlude?

If shaggy roller skatin' in Williamson county is your thang.......well

HERE'S YOUR SIGN
