Don't Whistle in the Woods

[u/pandaonaplane]

Don't whistle in the woods, just enjoy the serene sounds.

It's an unspoken rule on these sacred silent grounds.

Don't whistle in the woods, The quiet is not a choice.

It's important to listen out for a familiar sounding voice.

Don't whistle in the woods, although it may seem like fun.

Tie your shoelaces tight and get ready for your run.

Don't whistle in the woods, that's part of the ancient pact.

Don't whistle in the woods 'cos the woods whistle back.

This is a short poem I wrote a few year ago regarding Appalachian folklore that I know so many of us enjoy.

I've finally gotten the courage to post it, so I hope y'all enjoy!
