Think Pink

Flamingoes stand on one leg If they are cold, it's said They tuck one leg in their plume Why not tuck both? there's room If both legs were tucked in tight The Flamingo would lose height It would become a legless bird One that's never been heard Of, I know that the Flamingoes Pink This comes from its diet, I think Crustaceans in all shades of red Is the food Flamingoes are fed Algae and plant life too Predators this bird has few Toxicity and industrialisation Will bring an end to this creation It's a most spectacular bird Standing quietly undeterred Oblivious of what lays ahead Holding on by a slender pink thread It makes all sad to think This endangered species will become extinct.
