A Pelican at Pepperdine

He flew in on graduation day

Gilligan the Pelican

Demanding his own B.A.

They tried to shoo him away

Trap him in a jerrican

No way, no way!

I may only be a pelican

But I’m an American

I paid a grand

For each essay

I bought

I’ll go the Supreme Court

I’ll even go to the Vatican

Just give me a BA

And let me fly away
