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.
