Can a Buffalo Climb a Tree

On his famous journey to Nevada
Mark Twain's party joined a buffalo hunt
With no other choice, they said, " We gotta"
with no knowledge they would meet,  a bull's brunt

One of the party ran and climbed a Tree
He climbed as high as he, perhaps, could go
Then the bull climbing did he soon see
Lucky, for him, he brought a rope to throw

As the bull closed in, he thought what to do
He'd lower a noose over the bull's head
Then he hung the bull and then sighed phew
The bull had been hanged, he was now quite dead

Twain being suspious, asked for proof
For this the man became very aloof
