scarecrow

This is whats on in our house at the moment (sorry for giving into self-pity):

When all the cows were sleeping,
And the sun had gone to bed,
Up jumped the scarecrow,
And this is what he said:

I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow,
With a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my hands like this,
And shake my feet like that!

When all the hens were roosting,
And the moon behind the cloud,
Up jumped the scarecrow,
And shouted very loud:

I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow,
With a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my hands like this,
And shake my feet like that!

When the dogs were in the kennels,
And the doves were in the loft,
Up jumped the scarecrow,
And whispered very soft:

I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow,
With a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my hands like this,
And shake my feet like that!

Does it help with the birds: NO.
