Answer
The Pelican
A rare old bird is a pelican
His beak can hold more than his belly can
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
And I'm damned if I know how the hell he can!

Whose shoes were too tight to walk quick in them
She came back from a walk
Looking whiter than chalk
And she took them both off and was sick in them.
