Zap

Tada!  It was a skunk again.

Do all of you remember when

One killed the banties, every one?

Back then the war had just begun.

Curious to how we know?

I wasn't very long ago. . .

15 birds lay dead on the ground.

And with our senses so profound

We promptly guessed it was a fox

Who'd broken into our Fort Knox.

The story changed a night ago,

Helping our small confidence grow.

We all stopped to sniff the air

And caught a whiff from Skunk's darriare.

We figure he returned for a feast

And got a zap from the fence, that beast!
