Bill Brown grew tired of his old scarecrow,
broomstick leg and extended arms,
tattered coat and straw-filled head,
and crows attracted by his perching charms.

Built him a new one from his wife's old frock,
gave her a bag and a bonnet atop,
threw up an arm as if hurling a stone,
and the crows flew away with never a stop.
