A
Knock Knock Symphony!
Knock,
knock, who's there?
I'm listening
to our neighbourhood symphony this morning – Ah! the quiet! – just the birds,
the soft rustling of leaves ….. and a
human woodpecker somewhere in the background, shingling his roof - hammering
his heart out!
An actual
woodpecker, possibly sensing the competitive power of that human bird’s
pounding, started up his own version of
'Hammer Time'; He was ramping up
to warp speed - a woodpecker can peck up to 20 pecks per second – 'Take that, you
human!'
He stopped briefly to check on the competition
and to stare pityingly at the poor fool who didn’t know enough to use his head;
He was getting absolutely no food coming out of the boards on that roof that he
was working away at - " an arm with a
stick? Ridiculous! not nearly as
effective as a good old noggin knockin'!"
"Wait -
What's this? His mate just handed him a tall
drink of something and a bag full of food!
Perhaps the stick pounding thing was a mating call? Where's my mate? Someone get me a stick!"
