Wood Nymph
The Scarecrow
We planted a wildlife patch
so our animals could munch away.
We worked hard and were proud
and checked a patch the next day.
The patch was destroyed;
turkeys had scratched up the seeds.
We were discouraged and unhappy
and turkeys watched us thru the trees.
We have to replant again.
The seeds have to germinate and grow.
How do we keep the patch protected?
We used our imagination and made a scarecrow.
As the sun fell in the west,
we were satisfied and so
silently we sneaked back to the patch.
A big Tom was strutting our scarecrow.
so our animals could munch away.
We worked hard and were proud
and checked a patch the next day.
The patch was destroyed;
turkeys had scratched up the seeds.
We were discouraged and unhappy
and turkeys watched us thru the trees.
We have to replant again.
The seeds have to germinate and grow.
How do we keep the patch protected?
We used our imagination and made a scarecrow.
As the sun fell in the west,
we were satisfied and so
silently we sneaked back to the patch.
A big Tom was strutting our scarecrow.
