MOO-MOO & THE SKUNK
She clawed and she rubbed across my bed in a fright, But much to my horror no relief did I get, I gagged and I gasped as my stomach started to turn, Still sleepy and unaware of what I was about to do, I grabbed both of her ears brought her face up to mine, Stumbling backwards and tripping over a shoe, "What have you done," you goofy darn dog, "Don't you have any brains, leave the skunks alone if you please," Stumbling to the bath tub I put my little poodle right in, I rubbed and I scrubbed with lather galore, It was 4:30 in the morning how am I going to help her? More scrubbing and rubbing from her tail to her head, Putting the blankets in the washer I started to laugh,
Sleeping so soundly a dream in my head,
All of a sudden I sat up in bed!
What was that odor? A horrible experience its true,
Throwing a fit on the bed was my poodle Moo-Moo.
I jumped out of bed and slammed my window so tight.
Moo-Moo was still on my bed throwing her fit.
Not only my nose but my eyes started to burn.
I picked up my dog and said, "what's the matter with you!"
Took a deep sniff of her head and nearly went blind.
Fell flat on my butt my face turning blue.
I gasped for some air my head in a fog.
I grabbed the edge of the bed and pulled myself to my knees.
As I grabbed for the shampoo I started to grin.
That didn't do the trick it would take something more.
Reaching into the cupboard I pulled out some vinegar.
With the odor off her I then stripped the bed.
I grabbed for the vinegar its my turn for the bath!
