Punk Skunk<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk went to town<\/p>\n
with his britches upside down.<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk let a fart<\/p>\n
and blew the sidewalk all apart.<\/p>\n
When the police came to see.<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk said \u201cIt wasn\u2019t me.\u201d<\/p>\n
But, they knew that he had lied.<\/p>\n
Cause Punk Skunk\u2019s smell<\/p>\n
could make you cry, or die.—————–R. W. Johnson—–(1984)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Punk goes to school<\/p>\n
One day Punk Skunk went to school.<\/p>\n
Just to see how much he knew.<\/p>\n
The teacher said it\u2019s time for art.<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk thought she said to fart.<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk passed an awful smell<\/p>\n
that made the children cough & yell.<\/p>\n
As the children choked & screamed,<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk up & split the scene.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cHome is the place for me.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m smarter than them. It\u2019s plain to see.\u201d—–R. W. Johnson—–(1984)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk has a date<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk called someone for a date.<\/p>\n
He was told he better not be late.<\/p>\n
When he arrived, she opened the door<\/p>\n
&\u00a0 immediately fell upon the floor.<\/p>\n
She coughed & choked & held her nose.<\/p>\n
Then sprayed him down with a water hose.<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk ran away in tears<\/p>\n
& hasn\u2019t had another date in years.———–R. W. Johnson—–(1985)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk\u2019s first job<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk got a job one day.<\/p>\n
Watching children while they play.<\/p>\n
But, when the children came outside.<\/p>\n
They coughed & choked & almost died.<\/p>\n
They all fell upon the ground<\/p>\n
& started spinning round & round.<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n
He thought, maybe,\u00a0 they had the flu.<\/p>\n
He thought they could use some air.<\/p>\n
So he fanned his tail on everyone there.<\/p>\n
But, when they started turning blue<\/p>\n
Punk Skunk didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n
So Punk Skunk turned & ran away.<\/p>\n
He quit his job that very day.——————R. W. Johnson—–(1985)<\/p>\n
