This is just a poem about my walk today and how A poor scarecrow was in a field and the crows were Just sitting on its head and eating in front of him. And I thought what is he could move and jump Around that would give the cheeky crows something To think about

Here i stand in my field all day trying to scare The crows away. But they just laugh and I think that's rude The way they still get the food. I have two straw arms and a straw face But without legs I can't give chase. With no voice I make no sound so the Crows keep hanging around. You see crows are not stupid they are Intelligent and wise. If I did manage to move and give chase That would be a big surprise.

This is a fun one, Paul. I love poems where people use their imagination with humor.

a creative and endearing write, Paul. Your words reminded me a bit of the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz...but this scarecrow seems to have a brain. smiles, Sara
