F is for Flamingo (A Vision in Pink)
An inflatable plastic flamingo,
Was standing beside my car.
He sang, out of tune, a sad little song,
With the aid of a Spanish guitar.
"The love of my life was a vision in pink,
With legs that reached up to her wings.
The curve of her neck was a joy to behold, …"
(There are tears in his eyes as he sings).
"I woo'd her with song and I gave her a rose,
On that terrible night when we dated,
But a thorn on the rose pierced her pink plastic skin,
And, … with a sigh, she slowly deflated.
I loved her", he said, and put down his guitar.
"I never intended to pop her.
My life's not worth living without her", he said.
And, with that, he pulled out his own stopper.
