I have a little friend, who's colored black and white.
I'd
introduce you to him, but he's mostly out at night.
He has a little
trick, he can stamp his little feet.
he can balance on his two front legs,
which really is quite neat.
he stands like that,and now, can swing his
butt around.
He then will quickly lift his tail, and firmly hold his
ground.
He now takes aim, and this is done in utter pure
perfection.
Do not stay within his range, if he points in your
direction.
A salvo of obnoxious fumes, is headed out your way.
It will
remain upon your clothes, forever and a day.
If you decide to use a bus,
or train to take you home.
You'll have the place all to yourself, you'll sure
be left alone.
I'd like to take my little pal, to school for show and
tell,
But teacher said get out of here, that critter smells
like
Now if you think, what I've just said, is just a lot of
bunk
I'll introduce you now, to my good friend, the skunk!
