is in a funk
they took his stink away.
No more "P U"
to spray on you
so go ahead and play.
He'll cuddle up
just like a pup
or chase a toy around.
He'll open stuff
and eat too much
don't let him get too round.
Furry and black
stripe on the back
he's really quite attractive,
smart and playful
keeps your day full
because he is so active.
With scent glands gone
he'll party on
and be socially acceptable
lots of fun
for everyone
with no stink detectable!
P.S.
Ask the vet
about a skunk for a pet
and don't get one from the woods.
Get to a breeder
who can tell you what to feed her
plus do's and don'ts and shoulds.

Post a CommentNice poem and advice.
Wow, this one really doesn't stink! (Did he mean the beast or the piece?)
Very clever indeed. I think Skunks look so cute. Not so nice when you drive past a dead one in the road though. Pee-youu...
Very cute!
Cute & clever!
I love these, Linda, and I agree, get them to your local schools!
Absolutely great job on these. They need to be used in grade schools.
Bueno!
Illegal to have as pets here, but they are cute little suckers :)
Too cute for words! So why all the words?
