Pelicans - Manly Australia


A wonderful bird is the pelican
His beak can hold more than his belly can
He can store in his beak
Enough food for a week
And I don't know how the hell he can
Or something close to that...
Ogden Nash

Actually it goes:

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak,
Food enough for a week,
But I'm darned if I see how the helican.

"The Pelican" (1910) by Dixon Lanire Merrith

(It is often misattributed to Ogden Nash)
