    The Newlyweds

bought a house upstate.  The

weather got cold.  A skunk

moved in under the house.  The

dog would hear it, go berserk.

Skunk would hear the dog, spray. 

This went on every evening and

morning as the skunk came and

went.  The couple spoke to a trapper,

bought a trap, baited it with the

recommended cat meat.  Which

didn’t exactly settle the dog down.

Skunk ignored the trap.  This went on

way too long.  Come spring, they

sold the house, placed the dog,

got divorced.  The trap, unsprung,

remained where they left it.
