The No-Chicken Critter

Six sick skunks of one stinking litter get startled by a fox; five of the six sick skunks scamper. But one of the six sick skunk siblings is no quitter. In spite of the fact he is the littlest, there's not one thing that will this small sick skunk hamper. A skirmish with the frisky shifty fox he starts. Just one of those six sick skunks is a no-chicken critter. The litter’s runt snickers as backing up in the fox’s face, he farts! Jan. 18, 2020 For Nina Parmenter's Twist My Tongue Poetry Contest

Ha! I just pulled a muscle in my tongue trying to say "frisky shifty fox". Funny ending too! I'm very glad I don't have to smell a stinking sick skunk's fox face fart! This should be a big winner... J

Sincerely hope this missive finds you and yours well. I am glad to learn of your approach to poetry. I studied free verse at the New School. It was stimulating!! Everyone has a different approach to poetry. The main thing to my mind is getting your message across. That is the shape of one man's opinion!! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
