Corn Field Scarecrow Stock Illustrations - 451 Corn Field Scarecrow ...

I just met a scarecrow all dressed in yellow. Seemed quite nice and really quite mellow. A crow was sitting on each arm. The sign said, “stay off our farm.” He was just too nice of a fellow.

A fun limerick Bill. Maybe some farms are for the birds.

Ahhhh!! Bill, I like this one and the picture. That scarecrow was an open invitation to all birds to come and visit. I enjoyed reading it today. Keep on being creative. Sara K

Thanks, Andrea, I'm not real pleased with how my Limerick turn out. They don't have that pazza I'm looking for. I can think of plenty that are (how shall I say this) off color? I just don't want to think like that hear on Poetry Soup. LOL Have a great week, my dear friend. Bill

A lovely limerick. Nice image of the scarecrow in the field of sunflowers. It will attract more crows than scare them away.

This is really cute dear bill, i really love the picture used too and the rhymes you’ve gone for, youve done this form so well and flows so beautifully with brilliant rhymes: i love the very descriptive nature of your poem too. Mellow yellow scarecrow, how stunning and fun it is it. You have a unique way of weaving words and I absolutely enjoy reading every poem of yours. Too nice of a fellow made me smile hah.
