Skink or Skunk? (Whatever You Thunk)

by Mariam Kirby (Ranger Rick Magazine)

Since skinks can have stripes down their backs like a skunk,

And skunks have sharp teeth that go snap like a skink's,

The clue to help choose what's a skink from a skunk

Comes from using your nose, which can tell by the stink

Which one's not a lizard and squirts you with gunk.

But if you're confused and your mind's in a kink

'Cause both of these creatures are sharing your bunk,

The rule for behavior is just what you think--

Make friends with the skink, run away from the skunk!

A Skunk Sat in a Courtroom

by Jack Prelusky

A skunk sat in a courtroom.
A judge was on the bench.
He held his nose and shouted,
"What is that dreadful stench?"

"It's only me, Your Honor,"
the skunk said in retort.
"I thought I heard you calling
for odor in the court."

Skunky charms are here and here.
