A wonderful bird is the pelican by Dixon Lanier Merritt
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I’m damned if I see how the helican!
A wonderful bird is the pelican Mike’s dad’s version
A strange bird, the pelican.
His bill can hold more than his belican.
He can hold in his beak
Enough fish for a week
And I don’t know how the helican.

It is too early to order Mike’s book “Poetry Unbound: Poems and New Media from the Magic
Lantern to Instagram,” but you can get his book Everyday Reading: Poetry and Popular
Culture in Modern America right now.
