A screenshot from bookofpdr.com that shows a poem. Title: If I Had Four Arms (Sunday 28th May 2006 @ 5:31 PM) If I had four arms, I would wear a glove on one. That would be my glove arm and I would call it number one. If I had four arms, On one I’d keep a shoe in case I ever lost a leg. That would be arm two. If I had four arms, On one a duck would be. He’d keep me out of trouble, from there on number three. If I had four arms, I’d cut the fourth one off. As nearly as I can tell Three arms would be enough.

VP: The book said that they're vegetarians, but if I was a human and I saw a rhino looking at me, I'd probably piss myself in the pants!

Scarecrows are essentially decoys or mannequins designed to deter birds and other animals from eating crops. They do not "work" in the sense that they are paid or need to eat. Their purpose is to scare animals away, not to consume the crops they are guarding.
