Punky’s face is
embroidered and he has a cloth head and body. He has a lined vest,
bow tie, fringed shirt which he wears out to cover his pot belly. He’s
wearing pantaloons, black/white shoes, lined sculley cap and has raffia
for hair. He has his wooden rake all ready for the leaves. Or, maybe
he’s using it to swat those nasty crows.
Why? Because he’s Elmer’s secret pal. You see - only Elmer can see him and talk to him.
Punky likes Elmer quite a lot, but feels that Elmer keeps him from doing his job. After all, he is a scarecrow. And his job is to scare away the birds and the crows not to spend all day playing with Elmer.
But, he likes playing with Elmer so he's learned how to charm his way around the birds and scarecrows. And, it actually is working. Elmer is his friend. In fact, he's his best friend. Not only that, but he's his only friend. So, he'll play along with Elmer as much as he wants. For he knows that if Elmer doesn't think about him he doesn't exist.
He has his wooden rake all ready for the leaves. Or, maybe he’s using it to swat those nasty crows.
Nope! Not Punky. His rake is all show. He is "The Charming Scarecrow" after all.
