The day is so warm and windy and dry
And the sun blazing bright in the blue Summer sky
The cattle shelter from the heat in the shade of the trees
On a very warm high of thirty five degrees
The overgrazed paddocks that border the town
For lack of sufficent rain looking dry, bare and brown
This countryside with lots of rain now could do
A week of showery weather or better still two
Droughts in some places and flooding elsewhere the weather acting strange
Suppose this to be expected in Climate Change
The parched for rain paddocks as hard as a stone
And the drain by the roadway as dry as a bone
For the farmers another poor financial year
And the future they have a good reason to fear.
