Scarecrow

So we hired this scarecrow. Yincent. My sister saw the ad in the Cambrian News and said 'Is he for real?' so I called him up to see. We met in the afternoon and in the evening I called him again to say the job was his. This was Sunday. I showed him the plot and we watched at the kitchen window so he could see the birds he was meant to scare. He took it all in, but I could see his hands shake. I said 'Are you nervous?' He said he had Essential Tremors and he probably drank too much, but the shaking helped his work. 'Makes you look real,' he said. Before dawn every morning I let the cat out, and I see Yincent setting up. I think it's nice he's there and I wave, and he waves.
