Tastes just like those Blow-Fish the Nips are so fond of. Can they

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His mouth can hold more than his belly can,
He can hold in his beak,
Enough food for a week!
I'm damned if I know how the hell he can!

Dixon Lanier Merritt, a Southern newspaper editor and
President of the American Press Humorists Association,
penned this famous limerick in 1910.
