Wes,
Great poem. My gutters are the fascia type and are painted brown. I can't tell you how many times I have gone out and ran the big woodpeckers away because they were hammering on them. The first time it happened I must have jumped a foot as it sounded like a machine gun. I guess the gutters being open amplifies the sound. You would think the dumb things would finally figure out they aren't getting anywhere with that metal but they seem to just hit it harder if I leave them alone.
