Pelican

I gave you wings

that you might fly

I gave you style and grace

with little effort you can glide

or drift from place to place,

I gave you fishes for your meal

an ocean full abound

I made them sparkle in the sun

so easily they're found,

The only goof in your design

and I'm sorry - it's the worse

but from a height you dive for food

and land each time - face first.
