Pelican
From the book The Aliens Have Landed at Our School!
A pelican fly and a pelican swing
and a pelican bounce on your bed.
And a pelican dance and a pelican sing
and a pelican stand on his head.
A pelican paddle a pelicanoe
and a pelican pilot a yacht.
There are so many things that a pelican do
but there’s not much a pelicannot.
