Sawdust flies from fresh cut trees
Knock Knock,
Work carries on, without notice...
Logs hauled, with the strength of ten men, off to the mill down the road
Knock Knock,
Work carries on, as the echo sounds...
Trees fall over as lumberjacks cry, “Timber!”
Knock Knock,
Work carries on, as the sound of chiseled wood echoes...
Homes destroyed and other damaged
Knock Knock,
Work carries on, when silence is heard and emptiness appears...
Forests level for new dwellings constructed
Knock Knock,
Work carries on, but the indefinite pause continues...
Workers search for the source
Knock Knock,
And work halts, when they find the defeated woodpecker...
