THE FOOLISH FLAMINGO by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THE FOOLISH FLAMINGO SHE LOOKED IN THE GLASS
Last Line: AH, FOOLISH FLAMINGO!
Subject(s): FLAMINGOS;

The foolish flamingo she looked in the glass.
Ah, foolish flamingo!
She fell in love with herself, alas!
Ah, foolish flamingo!
Her beaux all exclaimed as they left in a huff,
"The bird has one lover, and one is enough!"
Ah, foolish flamingo!
