In Praise of the Pelican

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

"A marvelous bird is the pelican,

His beak can hold more than his belly can.

He can hold in his beak

Enough food for a week,

And I don't know how the h--- he can!"

My neighbor, here at the coast, introduced me to this little limerick.   She assures me that if you say the rhyme every time you see a pelican, you will become the most annoying person in town!  But seriously, we love our pelicans here.  They add a note of grace and dignity to the seaside.  You can add the same thing to your indoor or outdoor decor with our lovely carved pelican.
