Sad and Pale


Why so sad and pale, flamingo dear,
while you stand on one leg and sleep?
Don't you like the number on your leg tag
such that you tuck it in and hide?
Don't you like the fake lake you bathe in,
or the fence you see each day?
Don't you like standing like a celebrity,
easily captured by the paparazzi?
Why so sad and pale, flamingo dear?
Would you rather be elsewhere?
