A Suicidal Skunk

I ran over a suicidal skunk,
And mercy me! Did that thing stunk!

Ran across the lane in front of me.
And goodness me!  PEW-WEE!

I saw his fur all white and black
I tried to miss him, but SMACK!

I heard a thump and heard a crunch, 
And the smell would make you loose your lunch.

My eyes all watered up and burned.
If I’d known the skunk’s path, I would have turned.

When I got home and got our of my car,
It wasn’t the greatest smell by far.

After I ran over a suicidal skunk,
Goodness me did my car stunk.
