Woody

There was once a mutinous,

Horridly delinquent bird,

I’m told (or so I have heard),

So named, quite briefly, Woody.

And when Woody did not

Like whate’er his mama did

Or said too much a lot—

Or if she tied, instead of

A square, a granny knot,

Or gave him a merited swat—

Woody would not deck her,

But Woody Woodpecker.
