A Woodpecker Pecked

A woodpecker pecked on our siding
And likely, won’t listen to chiding.
He left a few holes 
Beyond our controls
In a place where we’re partly residing.

An expert came by for assessing
The damage where Woody’d been messing.
He spritzed with a spray 
But could not really say
Why he’d pecked there, without simply guessing.

Our house by huge trees is surrounded,
So I am completely confounded
As to why all that wood
Wouldn’t seem just as good 
As the siding on which he had pounded.
