A Rainy Evening In March

After months of drought conditions so welcome is the rain And nice to see the brown stormwater running in the open drain It may not be the drought breaking heavy rains that we so badly need But every dropp is welcome very welcome indeed Up north there has been huge floods and months of drought down here In Climate Change the weather patterns to say the least severe Either too much rain or no rain in the Land of flood, drought and fire The weather patterns do seem strange they change from Shire to Shire The landscape looking dry and bare and as brown as it has ever been It will take more than a few hours rain for to turn the paddocks green A wet and windy evening in early March in the first week of the Fall A few hours rain hardly a drought breaker but better than no rain at all And nice to see the open drain in flood waters of brown Flowing downhill to it's destination the lake in the park of the town.
