Farmer Replaces Scarecrow with Influencer, Crows Grow Self-Esteem

Ol’ Jeb replaced his scarecrow plain
With Becky Sue from the crypto chain.
She posed with squash, lips in a pout,
And live-streamed, “Y’all, the kale’s sold out!”
The crows came ‘round, confused at first,
Then followed her for better or worse.
“She sees us! She likes our style!”
They stopped stealing corn and preened a while.
One crow dyed its wings with mud,
Another opened a fashion club.
“We’re not pests,” they chirped with pride,
“We’re brand consultants on the side.”
The influencer sold a tee,
That read: “No GMO, Just Me.”
Now Jeb’s old field’s a viral zone,
With every crow glued to its phone.
Becky moved on to “Chicken Chic,”
But her legacy’s crow critique:
“Don’t scare ‘em off, give ‘em a name–
Even birdbrains want online fame.”
