MY THOUGHTS...Short Stories And Poems.

PLEASE WE NEED RAIN AND LOTS OF IT!

Posted in Unspecified

 

It is so hot and dry here!

Fires are raging in the North East of the State and the East,

And they have crossed the border into New South Wales,

In the Snowy Mountains, Threatening Thredbo National Park and ski resort.

Yesterday it was 42 % and a darn lot hotter,

At the Australian Open Tennis Tournament.

It is a wonder the players didn’t melt into the court.

We have a water crisis and the dams are down to less than 37% capacity.

My Brother was telling me that down in Gippsland,

After the rain and hail on Christmas day, that the ash and sooty debris,

Washed into the river and killed all the fish.

My Brothers have a camping joint, down there in the sticks on a dairy farm.

Most of the fish were European Carp, a real pest in our river systems so,

They will be no loss what so ever.

Still I don’t like any creature to suffer.

Immigrants, looking for something familiar from their homeland,

Delivered these poor unfortunate interlopers to our waterways,

Not knowing the harm they would do.

As is the case with a lot of our so-called pests.

That is human nature for you.

So if any of my readers have a good repour with The Great Spirit God,

Please say a pray for rain we need it badly, firstly to put the fires out,

And then to fill the dams.

That’s the story of our sunburnt country,

A story or should I say a poem that is,

Resinating in my ear as I write, just one verse mind,

From my school days of yore.

 

AUSTRALIA A LAND OF DROUGHTS & FLOODING RAINS.

 

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons;
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror-
The wide brown land for me!

Rain

I will make an appeal to the rain gods and pray to the Goddess Mother of All

G'day from Holland!

Well, I have unlimited amounts of rain that has been pounding upon my country for days... Any way we could work out a trade?
We the sunshine, you the rain...
