The Unusual Ballad of Lily and Pierre

The Unusual Ballad of Lily and Pierre Feline Lily strolled one day and behold who did she see, Pierre, the Tom cat of her dreams under a cherry tree. She gazed at him, he winked at her from that day it was their plight, they were destined for each other it was true love at first sight . She admired his wiry long black hair on his back a white stripe too, but she had one little problem she didn't know what to do. In certain situations at any time or given day, he sprayed a putrid odor that seemed to never go away. She didn't know how to tell him that he really stunk, and he didn't know to tell her that he actually was a skunk. Lily couldn't bear to leave him and so the story goes, she chose to wear a clothespin daily on her nose. I guess the lesson learned here, whatever flaws you think you've got, true love can rise and overcome WHETHER you're a skunk or not.
