Thanks for the new moniker, elP. I may even use it! You are very creative and original.

Since we are both forced to use computer translators, I'll have to tell you what I meant in English to save us endless debate on the inner meaning of my message. I used a different translator, and the Spanish it concocted looked good to me. However, it would not even come close in reversing the translation.

Here's what I meant, or close enough: "It was a great poem, and well worth the prize. Tie your trap to the end of a long pole in such a way that the skunk will be suspended when he is caught. When you catch him, pick up the other end of the pole, carry the skunk to the river and dunk him in it until he drowns. You won't be sprayed." So now you know the secret. Are you going to try????
