The Downy

I’m spending more time on the porch these warmer days.

The Downy

The rapping of the Downy’s work
  Upon an oaken limb,
Would concuss any lesser bird,
  But causes no harm to him

By playing on each arbored arm,
  He’ll ken what each’s within,
The hollow branches resonate,
  The hard make little din

From healthy arms he’ll fly away,
  In rotted, may carve a nest,
Yet I know he’s out for grubs today,
  So for him not good wood’s best
