The Unsuspecting Skunk

About a fortunate encounter with a skunk.

The Unsuspecting Skunk

Crinkle, crackle,
what's that sound?
Out here in the 'burbs
creatures abound.

Not a squirrel,
no chipmunk -
Oh my god!
I think you're a skunk.

Your color, all black,
two stripes in your hair.
Why do you circle
with your tail in the air?

I think I'm in trouble.
I probably should run.
If you do what you do,
you'll spoil my fun.

So, I'll leave you alone
and go on my way.
I know that we'll meet
on some other day.

Farewell for now,
take care and be well.
And thank you, my friend,
for a story to tell.

Perhaps I'll see you
again some time.
And thank you, my friend,
for a humorous rhyme.
