A Funny Skunk Poem For Kids

Scotty the Skunk was sitting in class, when his English teacher gave her students, a poetry task. Write a poem for me, on the subject of who you would rather be. Scotty wasn't the best writer in class, but he knew in his heart, he give it his best. Sammy the Squirrel sat next to him, while holding his nose, he laughed and he grinned. Ralphy the raccoon gave Scotty a box of deodorant soap. He then laughed out loud as if it was a real funny Joke. " I'm tired of having them pick on me. Someday I'll show them, you wait and see!" Scotty the Skunk went crying to his mom. He said, "Mom I wish I wasn't born a skunk!" His mom said, "Were all created equally son." " Don't let others cause you grief. Just ignore them and live your life in peace." Scotty gave his mom a long embrace. No matter how sad he felt, his mother's hugs always made him feel great He went to his room and started to write. He did not stop writing, till twelve o'clock midnight. This is what Scotty wrote. I would want to be born a Rose, a sweet scent smelled, by everyone's nose. If I was a Rose. I would never be teased. A fragrant aroma, I would release. My mom and dad wouldn't worry about me. I would be as happy, as happy can be. Ralphy and Sammy would be my best friends, and would never poke fun of me ever again. No one would ever say that I stunk, Or think of me as a smelly, pee-yew skunk! Scotty The Skunk: Who you would Rather be. Contest. Mrs Jones 5th grade class. It was contest day and Scotty read his poem at last. As he read his poem Ralphy and Sammy started feeling guilty and sad. When he finished, the whole class applauded. And all the animals started to holler... Scotty! Scotty! Scotty! Scotty! Ralphy came over with Sammy and said they were really sorry. Scotty said, "It's ok fella's I forgive you, don't you all worry." As for Scotty's Poem Mrs Jones gave him an A plus. Then shortly after school, all Scotty's classmates gave him a special big hug. " I'm happy being myself, and no one else!" He said to himself. Michael Tor 10/12/2015 Poetry Soup Contest. Funny Kids Poem Contest.

Scotty is a wise little skunk. He could teach a lot of people the same valuable lesson.

Thank you Lin your so sweet. Scotty is a cutie. He can't help being born a skunk but he learned to accept himself and not to worry what others think because he is special.

ahhh, so cute!! He needs to know that every rose also has its thorn and it's great just to be a skunk!! I heard that skunks were similar to cats in their behaviors. I always thought it would be great fun to have one "deoderized" or whatever they do to remove the odor and have it as a pet. Can you imagine the looks of consternation when people came to my door?Hahaha. I'd love that.
