there once was a skunk named Pepé Le Pew
when he came near, well, everyone knew
	Penelope, his chérie
	to her, he was smelly
odorous advances met pooh pooh!

A whimsical piece of this beloved character of my past, Linda! Entertaining exposé that epitomizes Pepe's attributes. Thanks for my facial grin! Aloha, William

I'm happy I brought a grin William. Pepé was persistent, if nothing else. :)

Was? You mean he’s gone…. I wondered about the stench! A fun Limerick, Linda about an old favourite. In the UK this week, there’s been a news story of a pet skunk that went missing. Eventually he was found. This begs the question… Who the hell has a pet skunk?

Did the smell lead to the discovery of the errant pet? Seventy years ago, my grandmother was de-skunking skunks and selling them as pets...who knew? I can't imagine they were/ are popular (with a certain crowd, I guess)!!
