Pissed!
Families torn apart by human hands.
Trapped.
Where is the door?
Black or white,
it makes no difference who you are.
None of us escape walls closing in,
gasping for air.
Read the fine print.
No matter where you are on the food chain,
freedom is your right,
Not reserved for one but all.
What makes you king?
Will you tell me?
He that spews venom out of fear deserves to be sprayed.
I am pissed.
Spray on my friend while you are
starving,
panting,
separated,
trying to make it out alive,
while you eat your grub.
I for one am rooting you on.
What makes your family
more special and theirs?!
You deserve
to be skunked!
Pissed!
I was feeling horrible for the skunk since they never came to take him to a creek within the 24 hrs. they said they would come. After about 58 and I was worried he was dead. They said they could live for 72 but in the heat and with no food or water, I wasn’t taking any chances. I managed to get animal control out which they don’t usually do and they took him and thank goodness he was alive. I hope he survived!!!!

Have a wonderful week ahead and as my Godson Connor says, may all your days be sprayed with channel and then the skunk could be a great pet. I loved his line.
Blessings of Love,

awww thanks Joanna. I just added the video of him getting out safe and sound. Yayyyy Thank goodness. 🥰
Poor little skunk.
I know Tim.. you have been sprayed too. No more trapping.. they will leave when they do and i’ll just keep the animals in and then seal under the pool.. 🥰 Just added the trap video and a line.. if they sprayed channel my godson said…if they would have lots of friends..
Deep thoughts indeed. Thanks.
Glad you got all of the innuendos too in here my friend.🙏🏼💕
Bless you for caring. XoXo
Thanks so much Selma❤️
You’ve been so good with poems Cindy and it shows more and more. Cool read as always
awww, that is awful!
I know.. the trapper said he was in a car accident. who knows. ❤️
That’s not good either, but if he wasn’t hurt too badly, he should have called. I know that panic, not with skunks but raccoons that we trapped.
I know .. he called and and and .. noise! the raccoons are the worst💕
And they bite! Don’t ever kick one in the face!
oh wow, really?🥹
Really!
I’m sure the skunk is very grateful to you for saving its life.
I think so too Sadje. I’m sad he’s separated from his families but sometimes that’s how it is in life and he will make a happy one I expect. I just added a video. you know me… always playing catch as catch can. ❤️
I’ll check it out. Thanks
💞💗
Very humane removal
YES!!! happy!!!
🤍🤍🤍
Excellent piece, Cyndy. We can’t only supposedly pick and choose the parts of the Constitution we like. Everyone deserves an equal shake.
One time a skunk was wandering around my school in broad daylight—highly unusual behavior for a nocturnal animal. The kids were freaking out. Animal control came and shot the animal with a tranquilizer. It was later found to have rabies and was euthanized.
You can say that again Pete and glad you caught all of the metaphors here. You are so right my friend. That is exactly write.
Wow, you have lots of stories and that is a good one. Wow, thank goodness he didn’t bite anyone❣️
Oh my Energizer Mama Nature, your compassion goes beyond words. But honey, I am so glad you didn’t get sprayed though! 🦨 But your words are spot on with what the Constitution proclaims for every citizen, every family, every socioeconomic level, every gender to embrace and live by. Sadly, some just don’t get it. Hugs and smooches my dawwwlinkkkk. Have a beautiful week sweetie pie! 🌞💖😎💞😍
Thanks so much Kym but imagine if he did spray is Channel .. damn then I’d a kept him and heaven help me as we know I don’t need another animal around here.. lol
Glad you got the jist of it all and didn’t get sprayed in the interim. I so much agree with you and it’s sad truly. Hugs and love my love of a human with a heart of gold and the word of truth always right on🥰🙏🏼💗
You tug at my heartstrings my friend. 🙏🏼 Sending you a truckload of hugs, love, and smooches Cindy my dear! 😊💖🥰💖😘
awww.. thanks my dear friend and to you 🥰💕
🥰💖😍
💗🥰💞
Fabulous poetry on Skunk. A fair treatment is required. True that.
Love this tribute to our little skunk friend, Cindy. Thanks for sharing the video. I was happy to see how gentle they were with him. Wonderful.💕
Oh thank you dear Grace…I know.. I’m happy too that he will have a good life. They really were very gentle.. xo ❣️❣️❣️🙏🏼
💕🙏💕
Very dominant piece Cindy, I feel like I want to get skunked in some weird way. 😂😉 Good Job!
Thanks Frank!!😂😂😂 Channel spray would work for me but you may prefer old spice.. hahaha❤️
Wonderful outcome! Love the poem, cindy!
Thank you so much Cheryl. I wish it could be that easy with other things 💞❤️🥰
Poor little thing, so glad animal control came and he was still alive!
I know Pooja.. I was very happy❤️❤️
I love your compassion and empathy that extends to all living things. 💗🙏🏻
Awww, Thank you so much Michele!!! All creatures need TLC.. for sure❤️
They sure do, even the prickly ones. 😉
hahaha exactly💞
😁
You are so right Michele!!! That’s so cute.. 💕💞
Oh, wow! What an unsettling incident. Skunks are not an animal you want to mess with.I am glad you got it taken care of without incident.
I know they really aren’t Dwight and yet I think they leave eventually. We’ll see what happens now that one is safety removed. Thanks 💗
Hopefully so. When we got married, we lived in a small trailer next to a field. A skunk got trapped under the trailer and died. I made the mistake of taking a shovel and scooping it up, letting out all the smell. We had to leave until the smell subsided!!
Oh that would be pretty gnarly! Yikes.. What a memory that is🥹🦨🥹
It was pretty bad!
I know, it sure is I agree Dwight. Hunter has been sprayed one to many times.. I responded on my cell but not sure it went through. 💗
You’re such a friend to all the living beings, whether furry or not Cindy❤️ I love you!!
Awww thanks my dearest Maria. I love you too💗💗💗
aaaw… such an emotion-full poem, Cindy… glad you managed to get help for the little guy. 🤍
Thanks so much Destiny.., it started with the skunk and moved on to other things. I am so happy he’s safe❣️
you’re so welcome 🤍
💕❤️💕
Poor skunk!
You did a great job, Cindy
I know!!! Awww thanks Vidah!!💕

Thanks Ingrid. So do I 💕

Thanks Dawn❣️

Aww thanks Lolsy💕
Poor skunk! I would be pissed too. Powerful poem, Cindy. 💕
I know.. glad to hear I’m not alone. Thank you Eugi💗
Most welcome, Cindy!
🥰💗💞
A lovely moving poem Cindy and I am glad you too action… all creatures are deserving of empathy and help when they need it.. ♥
Thank you so much Sally. I am too. I was going to feed him or open the trap but this felt like the safer option. They sure do! 💕💕
Thought-provoking poem, Cindy, and I love animals like you do, even though some we should keep our distance from. 🙂 That skunk is cute too! ❤️🤗
Thanks Lauren, Glad you enjoyed it.. Yes they are the best. He is cute but getting sprayed is no fun💕
I’m sure it’s not. We’ve never been sprayed but have heard stories. 🙂
That’s so bad Cindy
I know…. I think he’s ok tho.. or ignorance is bliss🦨🤞🏻
I hope so
Poor little guy! I’m glad they finally came out; it’s difficult here to get anyone to come out for an injured critter and even more difficult to find a place to take them. Hopefully, with your intervention, your little friend will be just fine. 🦨
I know they said they usually don’t .. I pleaded distress.. I hope too Nancy.. Thanks, me too
💗🦨
Aren’t they the cutest and most adorable.❤️
They really are!!!❤️
I have a skunk that comes and stays under my workshop every year. She has her babies, weans them, and then off they go. They’ve taken care of a few yellowjacket nests by my front door, too.
Poor little skunk. I feel for little animals. It’s too bad their spray smells so awful. It keeps predators away, but helpers too!
To paraphrase: When hours count, Animal Control is only days away.
Thank God, you were not sprayed, Cindy, but I admire your empathetic attitude. Your poem is true reflection of what you felt. Love it, and also the video of operation removal.
Hi Cindy, I am sorry to read this. I’m glad animal control came.
I’m glad the skunk was Ok. They are cute.
My husband got sprayed by one last year in our yard–he had to throw his clothes away! And I saw one by the river early in the morning about a month ago. Fortunately, I realized what it was before I got too close.
Thanks so much Merril. They really are. Oh no, that’s awful but a memory for sure. Good thing you realized is right.
You’re welcome, Cindy. 🙂
Beautiful post please like my post please freinds
Thank you .. I’ll check it out.💕
Thanks
I almost thought the skunk would spray the dude at the end. You have a kind heart, Cindy.
Oh that would have been good Jude.. 😂 Thanks so much my friend💕
My pleasure
💗💕💗
Skunks are so beautiful, aren’t they? I’m glad to hear someone finally came to get the poor little guy. On another note, I read your book, and it is so you! I’ve never known a writer to pour herself into every page more than you did, brave and unafraid. Showing vulnerability can be a sticking point for me, and you’ve boldly revealed your vulnerabilities. I have so much admiration for you! Congrats, my pure-hearted friend! 🌞💕🌻
They sure are Lisa and I was soooo relieved. OH WOW, Lisa… I’m soooo honored you too time to read it and really appreciative of your kind words. You know your words mean the world to me as I feel a kindred spirit between us soul sister. If you get time, I would love you to write a review if you would be so kind.
🙏🏼🙏🏼💗💗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💗💗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would be happy too. On Amazon? ☀️
Oh that would be very kind and that works, Yes… thanks so very much🙏🏼💞
I loved your poem and double entendre. Well done my friend, Much between those lines. <3
Glad you caught all of that Debbie and thanks a lot!!!💕💗💕
Hugs <3 xx
That was so gracious of you to save that skunk. I know many people who simply wouldn’t have cared. Your empathy for all creatures great and small says a lot about you and the kind person you are.
Oh yes, of course and thanks Simone. I just had to pick up a dead bird.. Bad Ollie (my cat). now rats are another story. Much appreciated my friend. ❣️
Great as always 😊
