Scarecrow's Ploy
Outside the house of a great and despised lord
There hangs an awesome scarecrow of might and fright
He’s ferocious and heartless in one accord
His beady eyes light up red, glows in the night
He starts fires in the pits under his control
To create fear in mortals inside this hole
Other scarecrows surround the fire just smiling
Knowing man’s time has come, they will be dying
