Ode to Spring

by Greg Barense

The smell of Spring is in the air.

Flowers bloom with fragrance so fair.

But I'm sitting in a big ole funk.

Cause my little dog got xapped by a skunk.

She looked at me like I had a bone.

But to her surprise it was spray cologne.

I gave her some squirts behind the ears.

Which did much to quinch my tears.

Now my dog hardly reeks.

Probably cause it's been 4 weeks.

Now I fear to leave her loose alone.

Cause Im running very low on my supply of cologne.

The End
