A Wonderful Bird Is The Pelican Poem by Dixon Lanier Merritt
A Wonderful Bird Is The Pelican
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
This poem was indeed written by Ogden Nash, and appears in his 1940 book “The Face is Familiar.“
Dixon Merritt wrote the pelican poem. An authoritative source, Bartlett's Quotations attributes it to him. My father in law was a friend of Merritt, who was a long-time small town newspaper editor. He always insisted that the poem was by Merritt.
Timothy Olifant’s character recited this poem In this season’s Fargo. It spoke to me. Love it
I cannot here the word pelican without remembering Daddy quoting this poem.
Love it, I remembered it from hearing my mom say it to me long ago
