Definition: Okay, here's a short, silly rhyme incorporating “peckerwood” as a woodpecker, aiming for cleverness and lightheartedness – and avoiding anything offensive:
“A peckerwood’s a busy chap,
He drums on trees with a wooden clap!
He’s searching for grubs, it's true,
And shouting ‘Hello!’ at me and you!”

Important Note:
I've intentionally used the word as a straightforward description of a woodpecker. The rhyme focuses solely on the bird’s behavior and avoids any attempt to use the term’s potentially problematic connotations.
