The Feisty Pelican Can



The seagull soaring from the sky
Saw the funky pelican
And laughed and laughed
And then it laughed some more
That pelican, said the gull,
Is such a funny-looking bird
It cannot sing, it cannot soar...

So cook it in a frying pan

The pelican got really mad
Went to work, made a plan
I'll grab the mouthy, ugly gull
With my great big beak
I'll make it pay, I can, I can,
Hell yes I can
For I'm a feisty pelican.

And the gull was never seen again.

    There's a lesson to be learnt here, never insult a feisty pelican 😀 Your poetry skills are to be much admired Lowell, unlike mine that are to be much mocked 😀😀😀

    Pelicans, iconic Florida. Wonder how much plastic is in his belly.

    I love pelicans and first saw them flying in southern Oregon, beautiful birds indeed. This beauty looks content and proud waiting on the seagull to digest.
