Tap and Peck
Listen to Carol's poem ... read by JH
Yellow-bellied sapsucker knocking on a tree
tapping out messages in
Morse code to me
- .- .--. / - .- .--. / - .- .--.
.--. . -.-. -.- / .--. . -.-. -.- / .--. . -.-. -.-
Yellow-bellied sapsucker, can you edit what you say?
Quit being so loquacious.
I’ll be cracking codes all day!
