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
My grandfather taught me this poem, in the 1950's. He said it was by humorist, Ogden Nash.
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.
