I Accidentally Let One Loose

I ACCIDENTALLY LET ONE LOOSE I accidentally let one loose While shopping at the mall It had people screaming And backed against the wall One by one would try to leave But there was no getting away They were all trapped by it What more can I say I couldn't deny it was my fault I couldn't help the situation But that didn't help these people They were there for the duration I wished I hadn't done it The reaction was quite extreme It was just a quirk of nature I wished it were a dream But once you accidentally let one loose They are difficult to get back But I finally caught my pet skunk And put him back in the sack 9 July 2018 For the contest sponsored by Charles Messina

G'day Curtis … great piece of wittery. Here I was thinking no more beans for you Curtis, and it ended up being a sweet little skunk - very good - Lindsay

Very funny indeed, Curtis. Of course my mind was thinking something else, entirely. Love the twist.

That was the idea, Daniel - to create a little suspense having people who read it have the same idea that I think you had. It coincides with my first thought but I decided on the skunk idea instead. Thanks for your support and honest, sincere comments. I appreciate it.
