"Oh, you can chase a squirrel that's gray,
You won't catch it anyway,
But don't chase that squirrel that's black,
With a white stripe down his back.Don't chase that squirrel,
That's not a squirrel,
And if you chase that squirrel,
You'll be sooooooooorrrrrry,
You'll be sooooooooorrrrrry,
If you chase that squirrel, you'll be sorry!"
I sing this song regularly to my dog. Fortunately, skunks are a whole lot shyer about coming 'round human habitation than possums and raccoons.
