Calling All Girls

I sense it is that time again,

When I should find a gal,

Someone whose looks drive me insane,

Someone to be my pal.

 

She’ll hold me close and nuzzle me,

What bliss is yet to come,

I’ll call her and she’ll fly, you’ll see,

To visit when I drum.

 


 

I hear so many songbirds call,

My drumming will be loud,

Beware the chimney and don’t fall,

Just stand here tall and proud.

 

Ah, here she is, she’s come at last,

Now I need to be cool,

I can’t acknowledge her too fast,

And then be played a fool.

    That used to annoy me when they did that on our Florida chimney (why there was a fireplace built in that home, I’ll never know. It was Florida!). Haven’t had it happen here yet. Hoping it never will. Have a nice weekend, Anneli.

    Thanks for the video, Anneli! I love hearing them (and all the birds at this time of year) even if they do make a bit of a racket. Great poem.

    Fun poem. He’s an attention grabber for sure! Not your chimney, I hope 😏

    Oh, those crazy Northern Flickers. I went outside one autumn to discover one attached to my stucco and drumming. Certainly attracted my attention. This pair are so cute. It is like they are ringing the phone, waiting for the other one to pickup. Beautiful birds. Happy spring Anneli., Allan

    What a noisy bunch they are! Lovely. A real and true sign of spring arriving. I too, took a short video of this morning‘s experience. We spend the weekend somewhere else, yesterday was warm and beautiful, today it‘s foggy, rainy, with an unpleasant wind. BUT the birds are all singing!

    Spring has sprung. The birds announce with joy the passing of winter in your neck of the woods, Anneli.

    That drumming on the chimney is a riot. We’re welcoming the birds songs too, Anneli, but no rock bands as yet. Thanks for the fun clips.

    Anneli, your words and videos announce the annual rendezvous and another blessed courtship. The drumming is something I’ve never heard.
