A Stuck Skunk, Or: I've Got The Styrofoam Cup Blues!!

Oh, dear..whatever shall I do?
Styrofoam cup's on my head..BOO HOO!!

I was hungry, went lookin' for food to eat,
Saw a cup of Coke..thought it smelled sweet!

So I decided to get myself a drink,
But what happened next caused a big stink!

Got the durn thing caught tight upon my little head;
And now all I see is darkness and despair ahead!

Can't see where the hell I'm going, I am stuck,
And nobody seems to give a flying F***!!

Why can't they get this thing off my head?
Instead of helping, I hear them laughin' instead!!

Oh, dear..I'm just a poor helpless little skunk,
And instead of feelin' macho, I'm feelin'..well, sunk!!

Was waiting at the restaurant across the way, waiting to go to work, and saw this poor little skunk with a styrofoam cup stuck upon his little head. The poor little thing couldn't see where the heck he was going; he was walking around like a blind person, running into things! I was watching this pitiful skunk for over an hour; I felt bad for it!

This poem is in honor of that poor hapless little skunk!

Several of the older gentlemen at Beefer's suggested that I help the little skunk (that, or hit it with my crutch), but I said, "OH, NO! I have to work today! Knowing my luck, I'd get sprayed, and then they'd have to evacuate the Golden Corral on account of a poisonous stink!" So I relented, and watched this poor little skunk walk blindly about. Poor little skunk.....

Shades of Pepe LePeuw. To make a solid point with humor is a gift. Keep it up.

If this wern't so sad it would be funny. But what a lessen here. There are so many people in the position of this poor skunk.
But society looks at them and are afraid of getting sprayed and don't want the smell of giving and helping others to affect them; so they do nothing. What a story this is. Oh I love this hon. Bill p.s. I can understand
your dilemma. How bad you must have felt wanting to help and not daring to do so. And no one can blame you.

I'd like to take the fool that threw that cup and tie a bucket over his/her head until she/he cried, "Uncle!"
