Skunk at the Circus

A duck and a frog and skunk, so
they say,
Started for town to a circus one day;
The frog and duck paid the price and
went in,
But the skunk he went home without
seeing a thing.
The frog had a greenback and so
was in luck
The Snowman accepted a bill from
the duck;
But for poor Mr.. Skunk no ticket
he had,
For he'd only one scent and that one
was bad. Sovereign Visitor.
