Premium Member The Woodpecker and the Man
A hungry woodpecker asked a man, "Which restaurant are we going to?" "We must get dinner as fast as we can", Replied the man who was hungry, too, "The longer it takes us to decide, As time continues to creep and crawl..." "I know what you're thinking", the bird replied, Let's slam our heads against the wall"....

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...

Premium Member Woody the Woodpecker Continued Again
So, Woody was happy with the arrival of 12 blocks of suet. He wasn't yelling anymore at an empty feeder, when he came to it. But then suddenly, a new problem came about... Something stole not only the suet, but the whole feeder hanging out! Yes, a thief was taking it away during the night... But, who was the...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member The Riveting Woodpecker
Gleaming golden ball revealing pines Dark silhouettes against the jet-streaked sky Roosters crow the sun up as doves coo refrain Life seems simple salubrious as fledglings fly That ole woodpecker rivets once again What a way to live his simple savory time here I often wonder how his sturdy head survives From one oak tree and then to over there He has...

Premium Member The Woodpecker
Rhythmic tapping outside my window Bring E. A. Poe’s reflections to my mind, Hammering an aggravating intrusion The cause of which I must quickly find. A red-headed woodpecker hammering Oblivious to his naturally irksome task, Worse than my turkey hens yammering Hardly as deadly as the red death mask. Poe found his intrusive raven engaging Subject of one of his memorable poems, The woodpecker brings...
