WOODPECKER BLUES
by Daniel Sciarra
I slam my face against a tree
cause that's what comes naturally
I bore a hole to get some rest
cause I don't know how to build a nest
I wish sometimes that I could soar
and eat french fries down at the shore
pluck a seed from a fleur-de-lis
or drink the nectar left out for me
peck bread crumbs off a city street
or eat fresh fish caught with my feet
but I slam my face against a tree
that's just life for a guy like me
