Explore "The Woodpecker" by Elizabeth Madox Roberts on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

The woodpecker pecked out a little round hole / And made him a house in the telephone pole.

One day when I watched he poked out his head, / And he had on a hood and a collar of red.

When the streams of rain pour out of the sky, / And the sparkles of lightning go flashing by,

And the big, big wheels of thunder roll, / He can snuggle back in the telephone pole.
