A Day In December

In the morning a few hours of quite heavy rain And brown flood water flowing in every creek and drain To the Merri River near the City of Warrnambool In weather quite warm and humid as opposed to cool The afternoon windy and warm and humid and bright And white butterflies are dancing in the sunlight The gusty wind carries the sweet scent of grass mowed for hay Blowing across the brown paddocks from the saltwater bay My true worth as a rhymer i have good reason for to doubt But in Nature no shortage of anything for to write rhymes about Birds familiar to many and familiar to me The black and white magpie larks are singing pee wee White butterflies are dancing in the strong evening breeze On a December afternoon humid and warm close to thirty degrees.
