Now you may think that a skunk and a skink

Would have nothing to do with each other

But the two were friends as strange as that sounds

And behaved like sister and brother

The blue and red skink was quick as a wink

And loved to sit in the sun

But the skunk did his stinking and all of his thinking

Well after the day’s sun was done

You could easily tell that skinks do not smell

You’d never know for sure they’d been there

But not with a skunk for they surely stunk

‘Cause it takes hours to just clear the air

So why would these two pal around like they do

If they weren’t having a jolly good time?

‘Cause they needed a friend on whom to depend

And both wanted to be in this rhyme!
