Stinky

There once lived a Cabbage named Skunk.
who thrived in the wetlands and muck.
Though yielding vibrant flowers
and gigantic feathery leaves,
 Skunk smelled like, well a skunk.
Really bad!  So sad!
But it didn’t matter, this cabbage was magic.
Ask the deer and the bear.
Ask the beetle and the fly.
Ask the healers and the shamans.
A Cabbage named Skunk, stinky in disguise;
nature’s secret medicinal prize.
