Skunk Cat
Skunk cat had a distinct wildly artistic look
His mama was a hairdresser that rarely got shook
She fixed him up with tattoos, stickers, and such.
You look odd, someone said. Are you Dutch?
He did not know his heritage, but he loved his mother.
So, he only confided in his oldest confidential brother.
I look ridiculous, but I do not want to hurt her in any way.
So, I pretend this is normal, no matter what others say.
