There once was a penguin named Grace
She slipped and she fell on her face
She went to the doc
And went into shock
So he put her bent bill in a brace.

Pelican Family Limerick Poetry
We are a pelican family
Queerer birds you'll never see
With beaks so elastic
We look quite fantastic
But at fishing, we're tops, you'll agree
Queerer birds you'll never see
With beaks so elastic
We look quite fantastic
But at fishing, we're tops, you'll agree
