A Bunny In a Bit of a Stew
Felix the cat caught a frightened bunny
Which Sammy the skunk didn't find at all funny
So he raised up his tail; the cat let out a wail
The bunny escaping as Felix set sail …
The grateful bunny, desiring to repay
Sammy the skunk in his own special way
The latter said, "In return for saving your life
I'd like you to find me a partner, a wife"
Now the bunny was in a bit of a stew
As how could he, a rabbit, know what to do --
And yet he surely owed Sammy his life
So he set out to find the skunk a wife
Well, the bunny looked high; the bunny looked low
But it seemed that in every place he would go
Single female skunks were in rather short supply
It looked like he wouldn't find one 'till he died...
Now if you don't want me this little tale to yank
Understand that what I'm telling you's no prank
Please know, my friend, that I'm being quite frank
When I assure you: All the endings I've tried really stank
P.U!
