Vera Duggan Poet Rhyme

Funny Little Fellow

Funny little scarecrow
Stands there in a field of corn
This funny little fellow
He looks oh so forlorn

As he looks up to the sky
Raising his funny straw filled hat
He never gets a glimpse of crows
No crow from him has ever fled

He thought the crows they could not see him
For he was only two foot tall
Perhaps a bigger hat he needed
Maybe this would scare them all

So now he has a brand new hat
He scares those crows now all the time
When they try to eat the corn
Soon they're fleeing from their crime

Ann Foster July 3, 2019 at 3:16 AM I love the was only two feet tall. Perspective. A fun read. Thanks. Ann Vera Duggan August 1, 2019 at 7:43 PM Thank you Ann, I haven't been on soup for sometime now so this was an unexpected comment, thank you so much and take care......Vera

Old Buck January 1, 2018 at 1:54 PM Vera: Scarecrows aren't supposed to have a brain. This one apparently did and had sense enough to decide his problem was something that could be overcome. Had he mourned his height, and not his hat, he would have always been "unsuccessful". A real lesson in this one. Thanks Vera. Keep them coming and sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck Vera Duggan January 1, 2018 at 10:09 PM Oh yes Old Buck, this scarecrow did have a brain and Oh boy did he give them a hard time, thank you for reading and take care........Vera

Emile Pinet April 5, 2017 at 5:49 PM This poem was innovative, captivating, entertaining and three dimensional in character. Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your imagination. Emile.

Jan Allison March 28, 2017 at 3:27 AM Lovely personification Vera - I love seeing the scarecrows in the farmer's fields here:-) hugs Jan xx Vera Duggan March 28, 2017 at 11:05 PM Thank you so much Jan, actually you don't see many scarecrows over here, I always remember when I was a young child, my brothers and I made a scarecrow as we lived out in the country, can't remember what we did with it, but I don't think it ever got to the stage where it scared any crows, hope you and the family are well, take care.....Vera
