Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Four Little Stinkers

Four little stinkers
All in a row
They just want someone
To love 'em, you know

People run and hide
Whenever they appear
These white striped kitties
These friendly little dears

First one's named Flower
Second is Bouquet
The third is Li'l Wafter
Last is Sweet Sachet

Skunks need lovin' too
It's not a well known fact
So next time you see one
Just show some tact

Don't hold your nose
Pretend nothing stunk
You'll make this little critter
A happy little skunk

Four little stinkers
Their spray makes you squint
But make 'em all happy and
They'll smell like peppermint
