The Scarecrow
The farmer made a scarecrow
And stuffed it full of straw.
He put it in the cornfield,
but the crows laughed, “Haw-caw.”
One crow sat on Scarecrow’s hat.
He was not scared at all.
That scarecrow did not scare
A single crow away all Fall!

Scarecrows
We’re the farmer’s scarecrows
We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer’s corn safe
Without any words;
But when Hallowe’en comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking ’round.
Boo!
by Author Unknown: can be sung to the same tune as that of “Sing a Song of Sixpence”
Apparently, scarecrows are effective at scaring not only birds, but people as well, which may be why they frequently feature in Halloween decorations and scary movies.
Scarecrow Joel
There once was a scarecrow name Joel
Who couldn’t scare crows, save his soel.
But the crows put the scare
Into Joel. He’s not there
Any more. That’s his hat on the poel.
by David McCord (David Thompson Watson McCord (1897 - 1997))

Scarecrows can be made in many different ways, using any available materials and human imagination. A typical scarecrow with a human shape can be made by sticking a pole in the ground in a farm field or garden. A shorter cross-stick is attached to it and becomes the arms. The head can be a pumpkin, a pie tin, or any round object. Next, the scarecrow is dressed with worn out clothes, and hat, and if desired, facial features such as eyes and mouth. Alternatively, a dummy can be made from stuffing old clothes with straw and tying it to a pole for support. A head can be made by stuffing an old burlap sack or pillowcase with straw, and then attaching a hat. Also effective as an alternative to a scarecrow is a shiny metal pie tin or pan hung from a rope tied between two poles or to a fence; a slight breeze will cause it to move, attracting the eyes of birds and scaring them so that they will fly away.

The Scarecrow
Five fat blackbirds,
Sitting in the straw.
Laughing at the scarecrow,
Caw! Caw! Caw!
Five fat blackbirds,
Eating all the corn.
Silly old birds,
It’s going to storm.
Poor sad scarecrow,
Sitting on a fence.
“Boo!” yelled the scarecrow,
Away they went!

“Scarecrow: One who takes as a compliment the words, ‘You’re scary.’” -David Hugh Beaumont (born 1966)
The Scarecrow
The scarecrow stands
With hanging hands,
Beside the farmer’s stile.
He scares the jay
And crow away.
With just a painted smile.

Owl figures and spinning noisemaker whirligigs scare away crows, pigeons, and other birds and animals, protecting crops and keeping human territories free of noisy, messy, intrusive creatures.
While scarecrows are often thought of as having a human shape, some farmers and gardeners build whirligig scarecrows, which revolve like small windmills, to scare away birds.

“The scarecrow was now the ruler of the Emerald City, and although he was not a wizard, the people were proud of him. “For,” they said, “there is not another city in all the world that is ruled by a stuffed man.” And, so far as they knew, they were quite right.” -L. Frank Baum (Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919))

The Scarecrow
Here is the scarecrow, see him stand
Upon the newly planted land;
A figure rugged and forlorn,
A silent watcher of the corn.
His dangling legs, his arms spread wide,
A lone man of the countryside;
Uncouth, the butt of pen and tongue,
Unheralded, unsought, unsung
To you, old scarecrow, then this lay
To cheer you on your lonely way;
Would that all men, their whole lives through,
Served some good purpose same as you.
