Free Range by Bill Whitehead for October 14, 2023

Both of you are “benched” for the season.

The woodpecker was a sharp student but was more treble than he was worth.

But the octopus turned out to be a great harpist.

Not all that it was cracked up to be

Anyone hear the Woody Woodpecker intro song?

Interesting song, never played the same note twice

Woodpeckers needs to learn the morse alphabet.

On the bright side, if there were any termites in that piano, they’re gone now.

Can they peck through ivory? Or if the keys are plastic, I don’t think woodpeckers attack plastic.

So much for “Chop Sticks”!!!!!!!

I guess so.

It’s not for everyone. Some can also be a little flighty.

The best he did was to just peck at the keys anyway.

I was watching a woodpecker through the window recently. They don’t hold back. It’s a wonder they don’t knock their brains out. Supposedly they are intelligent but with poor memories.

Must be an Ivory Bill.

I’ll bet he can play an awesome “Flight of the Bumblebee.”

Didn’t think woodpeckers liked ivory – or more likely, plastic…

Pinocchio had a woodpecker.

They go through so many pianos.

Wooden he prefer the ebonies?
