My legs are short and wobbly,
I hunt for bugs at night.
My tail is wide and bushy,
I'm black with stripe of white.

Whenever I smell danger,
I raise my tail high,
And spray my stinky perfume,
Which makes the culprit cry.

I break into gales of laughter,
As humans rip off their clothes,
Dousing themselves in tomato juice,
While pinchin' their twitchin' nose!

Good evening! My name is Flory!
I am full of fun and spunk.
Would you like to smell my essence?
~ It's, "Sweet Perfume of Skunk"!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

There are two very young skunks who dine every evening at our front step, on delicious cat food.  I think our cat is in kahoots with them and only eats a little and leaves them the rest.  They are adorable, and haven't sprayed..........YET!

Love the poem!

Hahaha!!

Linda, your sense of humour shines brilliantly throughout this wonderful piece of writing.  We don't have skunks here in Australia and I'm sort of glad we don't after reading that.  I should send you over some wombats and platypus because they don't emit any odors!!lol

Take care.........Sue

Wombats and platypussies are adorable in their own unique and exotic way! ~ and you say they don't spray? ~   Hmm! I'll take two of each! lol
