Love Skunk
Here in N.Y. State the worst thing to happen to your dog is to be sprayed by a shunk. The smell stays and is difficult to neutralize.
The old method was to coat the fur with canned tomatoes.
The quickening pulse betraysthe short sharp breathsHeartbeats by Cupid , painful arrowheadsThen without warning the tail lifts The Love Skunk has sprayed despairSo complete without reason or replyOily thiols sticky and odoriferousNo amount of canned tomatoesWill remove the toxic stenchThe loss of love leaves behind Even with the passage of weeksThe memory of that anti- Chanel No5Wafts nostrils as a ghostly presenceNever to be forgottenScrubbing the dreams cleanWith baking soda to sanitize tears
