If a woodchuck could chuck  
700 pounds of wood .  
The pile beside which I stood.  
Would certainly be as high as my Hood.

Welcome to the Dope, **wearly062.** When posting a comment on one of Cecil’s columns, it’s helpful to provide a link to the column so that others don’t have to search for it.

Is this it?

[How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/411/how-much-wood-would-a-woodchuck-chuck-if-a-woodchuck-could-chuck-wood)

Also, it’s helpful to provide some sort of context. Is this a try at making the amount of wood chucked by a woodchuck fit into a verse?
