L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Reason To Drink

Miss Maribel Seward had an odorous pet skunk
She developed an allergy to the way it stunk
The antidote was pricy
It was pepper and spicy
But Miss Maribel could not smell it when she was drunk.

Caren Krutsinger November 2, 2022 at 2:26 PM I cannot fathom being THAT drunk; have you ever been subjected to smell of an angry skunk? L Milton Hankins November 2, 2022 at 8:34 PM Unfortunately, I have, Caren. We had a long-haired dog who got into a tangle with a skunk. I shall never forget it!
