To use for a drum, or to burrow in?
How does he find where the young grubs grow—
I'd like to know?
The woodpecker flew to a maple limb,
And drummed a tattoo that was fun for him.
"No breakfast here! It's too hard for that,"
He said, as down on his tail he sat.
Just listen to this: rrrrr rat-tat-tat.
Away to the pear tree out of sight,
With a cheery call and a jumping flight!
