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!
