I wanted to be perfect, but I didn’t know how
I asked the flamingos to give me advice

The flamingos gathered to discuss the qualities of one who is perfect.
They thought and conferred for quite a long time
But knowing not the ways and means
by which perfection I might glean
Thus, an example of perfection, they sought to find

A flamingo looking towards the sky
They looked up above but only spied
Various clouds floating by

Flamingos looking down
They looked down carefully, their heads in the weeds
But all they found were seeds and leaves

Flamingos in a circle looking outwards
They carefully looked all around
And sadly reported perfection was not to be found
I worried I would never be
perfect, not perfect, oh, woe is me
In sadness they shook their pretty pink heads
until one flamingo simply said
Perfection really is all in your head
What you should focus on instead
is doing your best and learning from the rest
I’ve always thought your flamboyance was very wise! I’d heed their advice. How are your garden fairies doing Ms Manee 😉😉

I suspected I knrw little scarlet, but wasn’t sure. Your question clears up any doubt! The garden furniture came in last winter and many fairies chose to live inside year round. I suspect they come and go through the cracks and crevices of this old house. We have a new water fairy in our fish tank so I think everyone mystical is quite happy. I am glad my flamboyance has been helpful. They are sometimes such trouble makers that I worry.
