The Sunny Side of Skunks

After I thunk and I thunk and I thunk
      I thought of something good about skunks
    They eat grubs which ruin your yard

    'Course, the skunks dig your lawn up first
      Never mind ~ Kindly disregard

I enjoyed reading this Gershon. Your poems always make day. :-D On first reading your verse I thought it may be leading up to something along these lines... I thunk and I thunk and I thunk. What to do, I've been sprayed by a skunk? For days I stunk and I stunk. That nasty rotten skunk! Your light verse inspired me Lol :-) I've never been sprayed by one but our poor dog was once a target.

I think I'd welcome the skunks. The armadillos really do a number in our flowerbeds!
