dead skunk in the middle of the road - Loudon Wainright III
Two days after dad was killed my sister had to copy some papers over at the school, well none of us were really in good shape so we called our neighbors to have them take her over to copy them. As she gets into the outfit she starts to smell a skunk, the smell followed them as the got to the school to make copies and kept getting stronger. They both looked at each other said shoot it's almost like the skunk got in here. Then Patsy looked at my sisters jeans...she took a direct shot to the leg. Well, so they comeback to the house and come to the front door. NO ONE ever used the front door unless they were a stranger looking for a hand out. AGAIN we were ALL in bad shape and not wanting to deal with a panhandler I refused to answer the door. I felt bad after I found out it was my sister.
Three days after that we had a couple guys from our church stop by. One of which was the biggest joker you'd ever meet. Paul said, "Brenda you'd better becareful there's a skunk under the deck." Needless to say we just didn't take him seriously until Mark said, no really there is a skunk there. Just then the skunk saunters out Brenda throws her cat up in the air. A couple days after that, the skunk didn't bug anyone ever again thanks to a friends single shot 20 gauge.
