A Skunk Strode By

A skunk strode by my window last night
Spreading his rancid aromatic delight

His must be a lonely life
Couldn’t have too many friends you’d think

You really have to face it folks
For the guy really does stink

First poem I've ever read about a skunk. Thought it would be humorous. The poor skunk.
