Forlorn Field

In the midst of a forlorn field Hangs a scary scarecrow Working hard to fend of the crows Catching them, giving throws The raven then approaches him Looking quite evil, sly Death follows this horrible bird Wrongful death won’t deny He lifts up, flies above the fields Not a fear in his blood Until somehow the scarecrow grabbed And destroyed all he could The scarecrow then celebrated Where the raven lies dead He knew his powers were greater Than the ravens small head
