Beautiful Ugly Pelicans

When I opined pelicans “ugly guys”

Lots of friends did me chastise

From far and wide I heard their cries

They asked that I the words revise

Pelicans are not ugly but cute

I must admit the point is moot

They sent me pics the fact to prove

They demanded I at once remove

Offending word forthwith retract

Admit the beauty, acknowledge fact

And so I request to prove the point

You be the judge that we anoint

I’m posting pelican pictures few

All I ask for you to do

Make your judgment, vote right now

Each person just one vote allow

Are pelicans cute or ugly birds?

You pick your own descriptive words
