Monsoon Magic
Dust pervades hair and eyes
Whirlwinds of dust fly
Paddocks once green dry
Tears in our eyes
Overbearing heat neverending
Temperature never bending
Aircon over extending
When is this ending?
Snakes basking in sun
Be ready to run
Don't come undone
Leave them alone
Black and violet sky
Clouds passing by
Rain coming don't lie
Thunder in the sky
Celebrating first rain
An inch is now gained
4 inches second rain
Will it happen again?
9 days of rain now
Kangaroos shelter now
They growl at us now
They want to attack us now
Beware the furry roo
It is known to kill you
Savage, nasty too
They're in the outdoor loo
They're in the shed
It's doing in our heads
Under the house they bed
Some are even dead
Flooded plains and cut off roads
Croaking of the cane toads
Nature heard our woeful odes
Answered those odes
Peaks of green now seen
Paddocks turning green
A miracle has been seen
Unbelieveable it seems
A thirsty old land in drought
Had been all worn out
Now green shoots spring out
With joy I want to shout!
