Love is Grand But...

by Shel Silverstein

Miz Pelican said she loved me,

And to show how much she cared,

She let me set inside her beak

And took me flyin' everywhere.

But then - below - she spied a fish

And dove - and let me fall - cr-unch,

As she whispered, "Love is grand,

But lunch, my dear, is lunch.

 Fall in love with a pelican here. (Bring lunch.)

What Rhymes with Pelican?

A Pelican

by Jack Prelutsky

A pelican uses its steam-shovel bill
to gather more fish than can possibly fill
its pelican belly.

It's not out of greed . . .
that bill is a trough where young pelicans feed.
