wrestling with skunk

I've heard we don't smell while asleep, to the contrary
I woke at 1:24 AM to skunk odor permeating the house
and lay with worry the culprit had invaded through
the green house cat door. I fretted over cats and feared
the goats molasses biscuits were being raided. I tried
to rouse my limbs but failed.
No smoke, just smell; no cries of cat;
I had tomato juice in case and fell back asleep
wrestling with a skunk.

  1. I once heard that just when you're feeling pretty good about yourself a skunk shows up.
