Keeper of the Crop

In the middle of the field 
The lonesome figure stood,
Wearing a jacket stuffed with straw
And a body framed from wood.

On his head a tattered cap
And his face, it bears no features
There alone, arms outstretched
A strange and forlorn creature.

His only job, to scare the birds
He's the keeper of the crop,
So there he stands, vigilant,
Rooted to his plot.
