~ The little Scarecrow ~

There was a little scarecrow who couldn't scare a fly.
He stood there in the field so green but never realised why.
The Moonlight seemed to wake him, the sunlight made him sleep.
If you went walking late at night you may just see him peep.

As Autumn crept upon him and Halloween was near,
he started getting itchy feet always this time of year...
then every morning rather strangely he'd be somewhere new,
The farmer thought he'd gone insane. Whatever should he do?

"I’m sure you weren’t here yesterday" to scarecrow he would say,
"In fact not even in this field, I Don’t THINK anyway!"
The Scarecrow grinned from ear to ear, if You know what I mean
He Actually had not got ears but still had a huge beam

... so if you happen to be out and walking in the night
and See a fella rather strange with eyes that sparkle bright,
A Carrot nose, fingers of straw, and Shoes that look quite holed.
That’s Just the little scarecrow and he’s going for a stroll.
