Scarecrow

Named for my profession, I
have tried to live to expectation,
but, sadly, it’s my confession (sigh)
that scaring really ain’t my station.

My arms are clearly all-embracing,
spread wide to all the world in search,
and, far indeed from threatened chasing,
to crows they make a useful perch.
