The Pelican
by Dixon Lanier Merritt (often incorrectly attributed to Ogden Nash)

A wonderful bird is the Pelican,
His bill can hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week;
But i'm damned if i see how the helican.

Somewhere in the garage, I have a postcard with a picture of a pelican and that verse on it. Since I couldn't remember all of the verse, I was almost inspired to go hunt for it when I saw the pelican post in Found Objects. Now I don't need to. Thanks.
