Two bails of straw, an ornament, 
                                     in my front yard last fall
                                    Held a couple scarecrows, 
                                     hosting autumn flowers 
                                     Pumpkins, gourds n' all
                                   Had outlived their purpose,
                                       for that harvest scene, 
                              So  were moved to the backyard, 
                                      where in early spring
                                      We dumped a bunch 
                                            of soils into 
                                           mix of straw
                                   And planted in potato's, 
                             then we waited, watching in awe
                            As  those little potato plants grew, 
                                   our  curiosity did too..
                                       For empty holes 
                             where potatoes were growing                
                                     Had fast appeared 
                               without us quite knowing
                         Where were all those taters going? 
                             With holes in the straw bails, 
                                 and nobody hoeing?
                       Then we discovered the sneaky guy
                              When one of our children
                                 just happened to spy
                                Our Labrador Retriever 
                            ...who knew he should not...
                         Seems he really digs the garden 
                               and potatoes... A LOT!!
                     Scarecrows stood with twinkling eyes
                               So they have no alibis
                   And watched our precious doggy snatch
                      Those taters from our garden patch  
                       Now I watch the brown sparrows
                                   ever enjoying  
                          They visit those straw bails 
                                 busily employing
                         Finding worms, bugs n' slugs 
                            that they love the best
                          And taking home souvenir
                              straw for their nests
                      Now we've  noted another marvel 
                                     quite new
                        A string snake has taken up 
                              residence there too!
                         Those straw bail's harvest
                            in the summer's heat
                           Offers many a critter a 
                               fun yummy treat
                     Two bails of straw, an ornament, 
                            For my yard last fall
                      Harvests thanksgiving to the 
                                  dog, birds, 
                                    and all!
