![]() The ScarecrowA Chapter by Dave Brown![]() shotgun solution![]() My
neighbors garden is vast and extensive The
plants he has are very expensive With
the local critters being attracted to it Especially
when, the moon’s nicely lit Tis
then the many hungry wee souls Begin
climbing out of hideaway holes Then
carrots they pull to broccoli shoots To
burrowing down to sweet tender roots The
scarecrow he’s hired to guard all Had
little success from Spring to Fall Tasty
morsels continually disappear As
they’ve done for year after year This
year he purchased a nasty shotgun Intending to ruin each wee creature’s fun He assumed the location of his scarecrow Intending
rabbit relocation, to way down below The
soft, innocent bunny, seeking a meal Was
first to face this newly found zeal His
decision to visit after setting of sun Had
him staring into that nasty gun Knowing
this situation could leave him real dead His
long bunny ears dropped to the side of his head With
two big brown eyes bugged out so far They
reflected the light from each evening star With
his fleet feet, firmly stuck to the ground He
waited for the anticipated ka-boom mega sound But
my neighbor seeing a tear in each eye Couldn’t
pull the trigger and no wonder why A
fence now repaired, works fairly well For
killing wee bunnies, he won’t go to hell The
rusty shotgun lays in the scarecrow’s lap Along
with an amplified, scare rabbit app © 2020 Dave BrownReviews
