If Skunks Could Fly...

A bit of silliness to start today... Last night in the course of conversation I mentioned how I had a dream/nightmare that skunks could fly!I didn't elaborate but it was quite traumatic which is likely why I remember it! I was bent over in the garden and one landed on my back and started turning round and round like some animals do, trying to find a comfy spot for a snooze...and I couldn't move for fear it would spray!!! then I woke up😅😂😂) One of the listeners kiddingly challenged me to turn it into a poem.haha!! Of course, he (Glenn) should have known I can never resist a poem-challenge😁 ***Ps.118:24This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. I didn't have a picture of skunks but I took a photo of these beauties on Sunday!They cooperated nicelyunlike the loon, that disappeared every time I clicked...😅 (Thankfully no flying skunks landed on the lake!) It could be worse; sin’s curse Sometimes we fret, and forget mercy’s very caring waysSo, if you’re feeling down and out, with doubtful, poutful sighRemember that it would be worse if God made skunks that fly Imagine, when you settle for a little outdoor napA flying skunk would flutter down, kerplunk, into your lapAnd you would need to wait, stock-still until it flew awayFor fear you startle it and be drenched with stench of skunk-spray Imagine a day at the beach, if like sea-gulls, skunks flewAnd hovered overhead waiting for a stray fry or twoOr if, while tending gardens we would need to watch our backAgainst possible peril of a flying skunk attack What chaos would ensue for me and you; oh, aren’t you gladThat heads are not in danger of being skunk’s landing padAnd we don't need to worry about skunks building a nestIn our favorite tree; my, my, but aren't we sweetly blessed?!! This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice, be glad in itSo much could be much worse, we all humbly have to admit So, when we count God's mercies, among many mentioned thingsI think that we should add, ‘that He did not make skunks with wings’ © Janet Martin If you are familiar with you will recognize Titus!The guy in the hat!
