Pelicans We |
| 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! |
| Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee! |
| We think no birds so happy as we! |
| Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill! |
| We think so then, and we thought so still! |
| We live on the Nile. |
| The Nile we love. |
| By night we sleep on the cliffs above. |
| By day we fish, and at eve we stand |
| On long bare islands of yellow sand. |
| And when the sun sinks slowly down |
| And the great rock walls grow dark and brown, |
| Where the purple river rolls fast and dim |
| And the ivory Ibis starlike skim, |
| Wing to wing we dance around, — |
| Stamping our feet with a flumpy sound, — |
| Opening our mouths as Pelicans ought, |
| And this is the song we nightly snort: |
| 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! |
| Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee! |
| We think no birds so happy as we! |
| Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill! |
| We think so then, and we thought so still! |
