RED-HEADED WOODPECKER 
“Em a gay-looking fellow, 
And as gay as I look, 
I wonder if I can hold 
My place in this book. 
“I never have had trouble 
In holding my place, 
And don’t think I will have 
In the birds’ foot race. 
“Yes, I’m a Woodpecker 
But that’s no disgrace, 
I’ve pecked and I’ve pecked 
Until Em red in the face. 
“For all the small birdies; 
They can’t make me budge, 
As the old Eagle told me 
I could assist to the Judge.”
