What Did I Ever Do To You

There are many things that are caught by the naked eye They could be weird or strange or even crazy things that'll make you cry Think my strangest encounter thus far Was a little skunk caught in a snare from my car In underbrush and weeds so high Heard it's whimpers then saw it's final sigh Razor edges wrapped around its head For sure I thought it was dead As I moved in closer to take a peek Its hind back arched and sprayed oh how it reeked Poor little guy I could do nothing for Except call D.N.R and cry once more As they placed it in a steel cage Heard the officer say it was that of young age When do you think one will learn Gods creatures did nothing in return

That was sad but funny also ...Well, was it alive or dead? If dead why put it in a steel cage? But it seemed that it might be dead...Interesting happening in your life...Sara
