Get Flamingoed
Oh, where would a Flamingo go?
She’d go to a Flamingolow,
A flaming hot pink bungalow
Beside the steamy jungle-o.
From J. Patrick Lewis and Lisa Desimini, Good Mousekeeping and Other Animal Home Poems (abebooks.com)
Even those of us who don’t live in “a flaming hot pink bungalow beside the steamy jungle-o” can still enjoy the spectacle of a flock of flamingoes from the comfort of our own homes. In the Wilmington area, “The Stork Lady” will place a flock of plastic flamingoes in your yard or the yard of anyone who appreciates the kitschy charm of America’s classic garden accessory. The birds will be in place by the time you retrieve your morning newspaper and removed that evening. The effect, as you can see from the photo, is enough to make anyone feel like they’re living in a tropical paradise, at least for a day.
To get flamingoed, or to flamingo someone you love, call The Stork Lady at (910) 793-1331.
