Exotic Pets: Little Skunk

Linda Louise Johnson
Little skunk

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.

    Wow, this one really doesn't stink! (Did he mean the beast or the piece?)

  • Tony Payne10/1/2010

    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...

    I love these, Linda, and I agree, get them to your local schools!

  • Malina Debrie9/28/2010

    Absolutely great job on these. They need to be used in grade schools.
