Just a little Fun
Flam boy ant and flam girl ant
want to date but family says can’t
you are related to all in the farm
if you go out you will come to great harm
your offspring will roam the earth without direction
your gene pool will be depleted
you will without doubt become conceited
so stay friends stay on the farm enjoy the sugar
you are supplied by our supreme president
you will remain always a good resident

Wow! What a fertile collection of fantastic Flamboyant Fun…

I have included both of these short rhymes because they took hold and would not let go.
…………………………….

Flam – Boy – Ant,
Flam – Boy – Ant
A rhythmic, three syllable chant

String together some flam, a boy, and an ant
And the new word takes on a colorful slant
…………………………

Flamboyance wears all colors with flair.
Flamboyance paints each season with care.

Winter and spring sport cool and cold;
Fall and summer don fiery and bold.

Flamboyance spares no expense to detail
For nature’s canvas, is hers, to unveil.
