THE SCARECROW RAP
By Josie Whitehead
I know a friendly scarecrow
Who loves to dance to rap.
He wears a baggy jacket
And a flippy floppy cap.
You’d never guess a scarecrow
Could dance to rap like he,
But when I go to see him,
How he loves to dance with me!
Now hear the music playing?
Oooh! Here we go at last.
Let’s clap our hands, kick our feet
And whirl around so fast.
The birds soon get excited,
For they also like some fun,
And three tiny mice have joined us
As we dance out in the sun.
Now others hear our music
And soon we have a crowd.
There’s a pattering of feet
And our music’s rather loud.
So get your fingers clicking!
See, we’re doing really great!
But I glance down at my watch now
And I see it’s getting late.
Well I’m very sad to say though
That the music's reached its end,
And it’s hard to say goodbye now
To my special scarecrow friend.
So I brush myself down quickly
And - is my hat on straight?
Oh, let’s meet again tomorrow night
At twenty five to eight!

Rap - What do I mean by this in my poem? Rap is a vocal technique that emphasizes rhyme, rhythm, and individual expression - but, I mean that all of this is incorporated into the strong beat of the music they dance to. Well, I do like dancing and I grew up having ballet and tap dancing lessons. They say dancing is good for us all, so do meet up with a local scarecrow, if necessary, and have a good time. I'd love to be skyped into your class to see your children perform this poem.
