Cornfield Hires Security Guard Scarecrow, Accidentally Radicalizes Him Against the Tractor Elite
Ma said, “He’s makin’ speeches now?”
Pa muttered, “That crow-block’s gone Mao.”
Scarecrow stood with a burlap frown,
Demanding tractors be shut down.
“I protect the stalks, yet live in straw,
While tractors sip diesel and dodge the law!”
He staged sit-ins near the grain,
Wrote pamphlets on systemic pain.
Goat read “Manifesto of the Field,”
Pig endorsed his agrarian shield.
Rooster wept for broken rows,
While Chicken launched a radical prose.
Lou spray-painted slogans in husk,
Granny sang protest songs at dusk.
Now city papers run his quotes,
As he leads cornstrikes in overcoats.
Tractors fear each shift change bell–
Scarecrow’s woke and mad as hell.
