Dr Foster

Doctor Foster
Went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle
And never went there again!

The origins of the rhyme go back to the 13th century allegedly. This is one of the many scarecrows on the scarecrow trail in Chalford. There was also a wonderful 'huge' angel of the north scarecrow and a fantastic surfer scarecrow on a surfboard on the river which was moving along with the water....really difficult to know which one to blip but I plumped for this one!
