Squinguin
By punchy
30 October 2007
I have have no idea?
 few too many I think?:{)&~~^


I'm black and I'm white
All fluffy and slight
I'm the image of cuteness
Of fun and delight
I'm squiffy and quiffy
And snugly and warm
And smelly of jelly
And bedding that's worn
I'm the comfort you find
When your itchy behind
Is all scratchy and burny
And hurting your mind
Its me that you need
When your starting to bleed
And your tummy is aching
And your cuddling your knees
I'm warm and I'm stinky
I'm holey and old
I'm raggy and daggy
And germy in folds
I'm needed and wanted
And kept in a loft till
You're older and screwey
And need something soft
Yes i'm your squinguin!!

"And kept in a loft till ... " 
 
I really thought you'd invent a clever rhyme here to end it - it was going all right till then but you sort of fell apart ?? (like the toy?) 
 
I imagine a squinguin looking something like a skunk - black-and-white with a squiffy tail. Am I close?

I agree but always have a little trouble ending a poem as you have probably noticed.. 
my husband is a drummer and whilst on tour he made up the word squinguin as a punch line for a joke and the 4 members of the band just found it so funny( obviously under the influence) so he asked me to write a poem about a squinguin, this was the clean one I have another but after the reaction to my poo poem I think I'll refrain. 
I imagined a squinguin to be one of those revolting security blanket type toys that look like they should have been burned a long time ago. A few kids at my boarding school had them as old as 16 but I guess the school being like it was its understandable, I prefered vodka!

Smelly of jelly - loved that. 
 
Like FP, perhaps you should have kept the rhyme going to the end. Fun.
