I always enjoy these limerick postcards. This one says;
A gorgeous bird is the pelican
Whose bill can hold more than his bellican
He can put in his beak, food enough for a week
But I’m blast if I can see how the hellican.
ON THE BACK the scrawled cursive is hard to read, but apparently a visitor encountered a pelican who could not fish due to an injured wing. The visitor somehow hand-fed the bird and over time brought him back to health. Then the bird took to following him around…
Is this a feel-good story, or an example of “No good deed goes unpunished”? Maybe both.
