Alice, that is sad and makes me think of a tune that goes with these words, most of which i have forgotten, but this should be a sing-along, so someone grab a gitar and shall we serenade the lady at the top of our lungs:

"well i'm busted, disgusted and bent all out of shape...talk about the low-down blues, I've got 'em..."

now, Spaw, having tried to look up "lamarca" in various dictionaries and so forth, I have yet to establish exactly what type of flamingos are high-stepping around this joint. So far am partial to "Lamarckism" to explain the word and hoo hah there have certainly evolved some pur-rity stir-range critters in here...
