Pelican Playground

Not on the coast or the gulf, not in Florida or Texas, but here ….

at Paris Landing are many White Pelicans -

just relaxing.

King and Queen of the Pelicans we;  No other Birds so grand we see!

None but we have feet like fins!  With lovely leathery throats and chins!

From “The Pelican Chorus” by Edward Lear
