Skunk Tails

A skunk wanted to be treated Just like all the other cats He brainstormed and finally thought Of a way to get him as liked He would have to change his appearance To make himself look like a cat The only problem with this idea Was how to go about this transformation He finally determined that he would fly To go up to the sky and reach thin air Hoping that this occurrence would work Where being near space would scare All of the stripes right off his coat And shrink down his tail Thus making him a cat for once He took off into the upper atmosphere Riding on a rocket, waiting for that moment When the transformation will occur The rocket reached the top Then it started to go quickly down He noticed nothing happened To his beautiful illustrious coat Now the rocket was traveling down fast He forgot about this drawback Of the horrendous failed trip Just before the rocket and the skunk Hit the bottom of the Earth The Skunk was so frightened That his entire coat turned white Somehow, miraculously, the skunk And the rocket stopped right at Seven inches before hitting ground The skunk got off and walked proudly Towards the cat lover’s house Then the master came out of the dwelling And the woman saw the skunk And screamed, just then the skunk Instinctually sprayed the house For once a skunk always a skunk He does only what he knows how Russell Sivey
