Poem
I am just a scarecrow but my life is now quite dire, they have decided this year to put me on a fire. Who is this chap named Guy Faulkes I do not want to be him I love to stand in my field and scare upon a whim. I'm very good at my job I scare away the crows and I didn't mind the robin who nested in my nose, and then there's Jenny wren who's snuggled in my pocket and now they want to set me alight like they do the rockets. Why cant they make this new guy and leave me well alone he wont mind being set alight for he has got no home they made me years and years ago I;m really wearing well I've a feather in my hat and a chiming bell. I'm feeling rather sad today as you can understand, I've a belly full of straw and gloves for my hands what will the farmer do to scare the birds away if i'm not here to shoo them from his crops each day. Do you know what I wish that it should rain all day On the date November then they'll stay away but if it should not rain I'll hide in the barn for I cant stand the pain of leaving this old farm. If only they could spruce me up I can get the kiddies on my side new neckerchief around my neck in my field i'd take some pride. When farmer Jones, he made me he thought me rather good so why has he forsaken me to burn me up like wood, I stood about on this field forty year or more I know which birds to scare I really know the score oh' farmer Jones.dont do this your trust i;m sure I'll earn I've been out in this field so long i;m sure to green to burn. The little children love me especially my friend Nell for if they came for me today she'd hide me down the well. The day is here, the time has come the party spirits high hot dogs, toffee apples and fireworks waiting to light the sky But wait the children saved me with a bundle of old clothes some welly boots, a turnip head and a carrot for his nose they stood about in a circle and heres the reason why when nobody was looking they made a chap called guy, so..my life's been saved today I can live without fear well that is of course till Nov 5th next year.
