Ogden Nash

I kept thinking about my recent posting about the pelican, seemingly fettered by a heavy chain to a log. I used the rhyme of pelican and "helican". All of a sudden it occurred to me that I am guilty of plagiarism and that, indeed, the famous American poet, Ogden Nash used this gimmick.
Let me first apologize to Mr. Nash and secondly give you his entire poem, actually a Limerick; for your undoubtedly great amusement:;

"A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
BUT I'M DAMNED IF I SEE
HOW THE HELICAN:
