Loudest In the Neighborhood - Part 2
Continued from part one:
So, I’m with my dog out for a walk,
And a neighbor nearby, stops to talk
What’s up with that woodpecker he asks me?
I said, I don’t know, but he’s banging on metal now, since the tree.
Neighbor says, it sounds like a drill nail gun, what are you going to do?
Again I said, I don’t know…wondering what he wants me to?
Surely, I don’t own the woodpecker, it’s not my pet.
Such as his dog who bit mine once and she had to go to the vet!
So, he carries on about how loud it is and thinks I should make a call.
A call to a wildlife place in the area, to take care of it all.
Never have I heard, calling about a hammering bird like this one.
But this is the new idea this neighbor has spun.
I suppose it takes thinking about the shouldn’t or should,
Before heading to live in the mountain woods!
(Don’t get me wrong, I have always loved it here). (Just having some fun)
