Greater Spotted Woodpecker by Mikhail Vedernikov

Headbanger

Whyever are woodpeckers
Logged by how they’re spotted ?
Why are we such checkers
Of how many lots we’ve totted ?
And is the greater-spotted greater
In the number of its spots ?,
Or is its name a commentator
On the quality of dots ?
Or is each polka such a size,
They’re practic’ly uniting ?
Or are the spots our searching eyes,
Recording ev’ry sighting ?

Since woodpeckers are more likely to be heard than seen, perhaps it’s a reference to Spotify…?
