I feel sorry for it, I really do no soul deserves to die that way oh, I recall the time one chased me down a forest path it's tail was high and it was mad, real mad seems I got too close to it's home I really thought I was going to have plunge into the stream ... but it got bored I guess

You are right. No, animal deserves to die as roadkill, although way to often it happens. Congratulations to on your win in my contest.

All creatures great or small ... On a lighter note: I read a post where someone could not remember the name for a skunk and called it a "smelly" (used a stronger word for it) squirrel. Nice write, Constance. X Su

Suzette, thank you so much for the comment, I actually do not dislike skunks only their smell, which is their only defence against other animals (and people), Constance

Constance I am so glad you valued these beautiful animal. They are so intimidating to people because of their ability to spray that fowl odor. He doesn't want to, but that is his only defense. Realize this when he does that he to has to smell his own terrible odor. I am sure he does not like being so stinky. Enjoyed reading Constance, the skunks painting in the picture is so cute, how can you hate them? lol

Thank you for recognizing the cute and stinky animals. I had one in the house one time. It sprayed the cat (which had it by the neck). Nice poem.
