Critterature: Belle of the Ball

A flamingo asked a fer-de-lance
To be his date to a high school dance.
"Oh, you don't want to go with me.
I've neither arms nor legs, you see."
"No problem there", flamingo said,
"You can still play the perfect role.
We'll enter the limbo contest,
And you can be the pole!"

Ha! Very funny, Jim! (Have to admit that I had to look up fer-de-lance…)
