Still a Skunk

A skunk wanted to be a cat
Rode a rocket to do just that
As the rocket neared the ground
His coat changed, this he found
He was still a skunk, that’s a fact

Gotta love the Looney Tuney fun-rhymin ones like this skunk stunt! Excellent. I believe I enjoy children's poetry the most. It time warps me back to the best days of my life. My imagination would have me reading poems like this one! Then I'd turn my Barbie Dolls into veterinarians who run a clinic just for skunks. I know....I am a sick puppy!! lol. Gwendolen

Ah a rose by any other name etc. etc. I had a pet skunk once. He was very sweet. Of course he had been de-musked. Great write my friend. God Bless, JB
