Dear Scarecrow we love your fortitude
Every day you stand tall guarding our land
The crows may be leery, it's understood
You are the best farmer's watch dog next to man
The crows come and fly away as do you spin
The field mouse isn't sure whether to stay
As your broom seems to move in the cool winds
Just love how you are stuffed with the barn hay
Your Straw hat never seems to blow or fall
Day or night you're the best scarecrow ever
The cats and the dogs don't mess with you at all
Had you a brain, I'm sure you would be clever
Oh thanks dear Scarecrow for your fortitude
From us farmer's you have our gratitude

Our local farmer has installed enhancements so that the scarecrow smells of curry and farts every once and a while.
The crows can be seen forming a queue.
Target practice.
Curry is pungent, lol thanks for stopping by
In our area we have an annual scarecrow competition and when you drive round there are some wonderful scarecrows in the front gardens - I just stand still in mine. 😁
Awesome! Would be nice to see
Good write RB.
I'm going nuts! I felt sorry for a scarecrow out in a field all night. I brought it indoors. Did I?! heehee.
Awe, such a compassionate fellow
Great imagery........ I can smell the hay.... took me back to the horse farms and my horseman husband....
Glad it evoked memories, thanks for stopping by
Here in the middle of nowhere, there are several still scattered around ..
they are not seen so often now though which is sad ..
I guess that technology made most of em redundant ...
A smashing little trip down a nostalgic lane for me RB ... Cheers
