DANGER
AT THE DOOR


By Josie Whitehead

Danger at the Door

A very hungry woodpecker
     Was knocking on a door.
Tap tap he went.  Tap-tap, tap-tap!
     And he thought he heard a snore.

​

Tap-tap he went.  "Open your door!"
     Was that a little squeal?
An insect's voice cried with alarm:
      "Someone wants a meal!"

​

Another insect's voice then said:
      "Let’s get away from here.
The knocking on our little door
     Means danger, it’s quite clear."

​

Two frightened bugs forgot their beds
     And scurried off in fright.
Woodpecker looked round their home
     But no-one  was in sight.
