A tussle of significance
To maintain my appearance
For I am a pelican
You may not have to squirm

I may look wild now
It is not my normal
Because I am under a spell
Oh, what the hell

Just so do not giggle
(44 words)

    Ha! This made me think of that verse "Imagine the plight of a pelican. His beak holds more than his belly can" (or something like that). A fun read.

    Have to watch the bippity boppity boo when a spell goes over you

    I love the phrase "a tussle of significance."

    Ha.. I think I might giggle instead of being horrified.

    I like the final line. I might be biased as I use it all the time myself.

    It is good to have the excuse that one is under a spell.

    Snuck that one in. Very imaginatively, I might add. (giggle)

    I enjoyed this one, Hank. A 'tussle of significance' and a pelican under a spell - a great combination!
