The Scarecrow (author unknown)
The old scarecrow is such a funny
man,
He flops in the wind as hard as he
can.
He flops to the right,
He flops to the left,
He flops back and forth
"Til he's almost out of
breath.
His arms swing out; his legs
swing too.
He nods his head, "How do you
do?"
See him flippity flop when
the wind blows hard,
The funny scarecrow in our back
yard.
