I'm chawing my chow
But don't ask me how
It's a natural knack
For a horrible hack
How do you do it, they ask,
Contrary to my explicit instructions.
It's like this, I say.
Imagine, if you will, a gratitude of geese.
No, I've got it, a charm of yaks or,
Better still, a pointlessness of penguins.
Now multiply the beasts by slow and cautious stages.
Easy does it.
Take away the number you first thought of
And hide it in a bucket.
Now you are ready to begin.
From this point on you must fly like an eagle.
Let nothing distract you.
If you have no nothing, let something distract you.
Ice cream is good and
The effects are much the same.
Remember at all times that everything is anathema
To geese and journeymen.
Anathema is constricting to the bowels.
Try, try, try and try, but not this at home, kids.
Not without several strapping assistants and
A carafe of topiary juice.
Now you know the secret.
Whisper it behind closed dorks.

I haven't got a blinking clue what you'e on about, but this was a jolly enough piece.
What an unusual life you must lead, Skunk, old chap.
Thanks.
JM.

Chain-sawing my chow
reminded me how
bad for the health
it is for the cow :oO
There's a place for new grub
street hacks in the pub
and room for a skunk
who doesn't get drunk:O)

This is so lovely. Better than daffodils any day.

It was all a ghastly mistake. I gave too much away. What will the penguins think? What will Biggus think? He tried to tell me my comments weren't sensible.

You've eaten all the Penguins, Skunk!
You've eaten all the cakes.
Then you got the munchies
and started on the snakes.
Biggus will think you're crazy
and he'll confiscate your stash
and you'll never, ever, get any more
'cos I've nicked all your cash.

Well, I'm surprised no-one seems to have got my...
New Grub Street hack reference.
Seems everybody thought I meant new grub after Skunk had eaten everything ;o)

I had to dig a bit with this one skunk. There's some well-hidden depth.

I used to think as you Skunk but I eventually realised that I'd been seduced by Nietzsche and it is enough to be a butterfly.
