Call Charleston Heston, I Want To Join the NRA, Now !

Every spring without fail
you come back to me.
I think you must be an
old lover, from a former
life, trying to get even,
you do at that. Because
every morning, at the break
of dawn, you rattle my gutters,
rattle my metal chimney, rattle
my head with that hard, red
headed beak of a woodpecker head.
Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, over and over
again.  I jump right out of my skin,
at dawn’s early light, you laugh like
hell, that beautiful woodpecker
smile,I’d love to shoot right off
your red headed, woodpecker face.
Good thing I don’t have a gun!

bk (only kidding)I love birds!
