Inside The Mind Of The Scarecrow (Part I )

A Scarecrow in a field? How typically cliché! Just hanging around scaring crows all day?! But this is my life it is what I become. adapted to my environment comfortably numb. Perched on these poles like a broken Christ, no thoughts of my own to ponder at night. If I only had a brain to keep me company! An imagination to use to create a fantasy! I'd calculate equations while protecting the harvest. An intellectual of knowledge, a scholar of the smartest. A critical thinker, yes that's what I said! With scientific theories dancing in my head! What...??!! Do my eyes deceive? Who is this girl... approaching me...??? She has a basket in her hand; skipping on a street There is a tiny brown dog following her feet... Look at her shoes!!..They are sparkly red! What could she possibly want from a scarecrow that's brain-dead...? To Be Continued...

Notes

"Oh, I, could tell you why

The oceans near the shore

I could think of things I'd never

Thunk before,

And then I'd sit down and think some more.

I would not be just a muffin',

My head all full of stuffin',

My heart all full of pain;

And perhaps I'd deserve you and be

Even worthy even you

If I only had a brain." - If I Only Had A Brain by the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz
