Tea Time In the Tree House

It is tea time in the treehouse
There is a hedgehog entertaining a rat
They hear some loud jackhammering
Rat-a-tat-a-tat-tat-tat!

Is that a redheaded woodpecker? Asks the hedgehog, mad.
Don’t know says the rat, but this drumming makes me feel sad.
The woodpecker’s beak came in through the outside wall.
What is going on in there? His voice was loud and tall.

It is teatime said the hedgehog. You are welcome to come in.
I need a little help first, said the woodpecker. Can you push my chin?

I love hearing a woodpecker and marvel at the strength they must have in their neck and back!
