Wurzel Gummage is my name
That`s my only claim to fame.
I stand about in fields of corn
My clothes are sadly old and worn.
I`m supposed to scare the crows
They just stand about in rows and rows.
One even perched upon my head
I wished that I was really dead.
He even had the effontry
To lift his leg and have a pee.
Made a caw and off he flew
What am I supposed to do?
My carrot hair is soaking wet
Because of his most cheeky jet.
Then that cheeky little bird
Dropped on me a runny turd.

Wurzel Gummage was also a name I gave my Dad as he forgot to comb his hair on days he was headed for the garden - he was always in a hurry to get there - he loved it. John Pertwee made a wonderful Wurzel, what head was he wearing for your poem William?

Haha, you did well at getting a giggle out of me. Getting pee’d on is one thing but
the other!!! Nice humorous poem here. Thank you for the entry into this contest and best wishes

Made me smile a bit. Nice job with your rhyme scheme, kind of sing-songy. I see why bird pee was needed. I tend to agree with Roebucks about replacing the word call with claim in the second line. Thank you for entering.

I used to like worzel gummage. Should it be claim to fame in the second line? Any poem with bird poo in it is a winner with me.
