Scarecrow In the Cornfield

SCARECROW IN THE CORNFIELD

He stands watch both day and night
To look at him is quite a fright
A lonely sentinel standing there
His eyes fixed in an open stare

He knows he has a job to do
The crows are many, not a few
He must keep them scared away
Otherwise, there'll be no pay

For all the corn spread o'er the field
The  scarecrow's presence ensures a yield
He stands watch just so you know
He'll be on guard come rain or snow

So when you sit down at the table to dine
And feast on corn as good as fine wine
Let your friends and family know
They owe it all to an old scarecrow
