ONE COW AT A TIME

Angie wanted to give a milk-producing waterbuffalo to a poor family.

She’d read it was the thing to do so families in developing countries

could have enough milk to drink. And some to sell.

She’d read it On one of those “Save The World” websites.

But why send good American Dollars to The Sudan? Angie thought.

She saved her dimes and quarters, 

And by December had enough to buy the cow.

She sent it to a family whose name she found on the web,

the address suggested a tenement apartment on the Lower East side

of Chicago.

Angie felt good about the gift.
But somehow the waterbuffalo gift Didn’t turn out right.

Sure, the family had more than enough milk, 

But the Housing Authority made them move.
