Flamingo Amongst a Flock of Pigeons

Flamingo Amongst A Flock of Pigeons.
.
‘’Be a flamingo
In amongst a flock of pigeons’’
The caption read
.
Uhmm I thought
As I scratched my head
.
Got the costume from Ebay
It came the next day
.
So I stood in middle of town
Amongst a flock of pigeons
And straight away they flew away
.
I felt such a fool dressed in my flamingo suit
But walking home through the zoo
Suddenly I was in hot pursuit
.
I was mounted several times
Before the ambulance arrived
Please do not try this yourself
At home
I barely survived
.
Maybe I read the caption wrong
It could have read
‘’Be a pigeon in a flock of flamingos’’
But if I did
I’d probably be
Dead.
.
‘’ After I saw the caption, I saw nothing but flamingo Soft toys, mugs, T shirts, you name it.
A few yearsago, it was ducks, last year, it was Magpies.
What’s going on!!!!.
Glad it wasn’t sparrows, I’d never get a costume to fit me.
