Woody

I saw a Woodpecker up a tree. He looked very cross-eyed to me. This woodpecker could not peck, The poor bird was a wreck. His pecker had dropped off, When he very loudly coughed. I saw him banging his head repeatedly, Because it was time for his tea. Woody soon felt very weak. You can't be a woodpecker without a beak. I realized why he looked cross-eyed to me, He kept banging his head upon the tree.

Knocking one's head against wood tends to do that, but nurses still enjoy watching peckers drop when they poke for a cough . . . . .Enjoyed, Shirley! Aloha!

Oh my, Shirley, I broke out into raucous laughter at "His pecker dropped off." This poem is so funny. I'm sure you didn't mean the double entendre...or did you?
