Who knew there were so many ways for a brown pelican to look down its nose?
Who knew they had so much bird-ality?

Veteran Tom Boneham, 100, reflects on his time as part of the 30 A-U, a secret WWII unit. Boneham, who has lived in Canada since 1952, was one of the 35 original members of the top secret commando unit created by James Bond author Ian Fleming. https://globalnews.ca/news/9591437/the-last-commando-turns-100/
I want to live in a country, and a city, where I can afford to buy a house and raise a family, and where it's safe to walk down the street or use public transit. I feel like it's a reasonable expectation, and yet in so many places across Canada this feels like it's slipping away.
627 @JonathanWNV @PattyHajdu Mar 29 and there are 32 long term advisories, 25 short term advisories, and an additional 21 advisories in BC. 2 more short term advisories added in as many days. FNMI people deserve better. Especially as we are 2 years after your promised fix date.

A wondrous bird is the pelican
Its beak holds more than its belly can
It can hold in its beak
Enough food for a week
And I don’t know how in the helican.
I read somewhere that the limerick is the only truly English-language form of poetry. Everything else is borrowed from somewhere else. So I submit that in honour of the English, who no doubt stole it from the Irish. Nothing to do with the bird, of course.

Jim – I had never heard that about the limerick. Certainly they are wondrous birds. (Also, alerted by your follow-up comment, I have corrected the final line of your limerick and it seems to have taken. I think it matters how you hold your tongue.)
