A Wet August Day

In the rushy fields just west of Millstreet Town Old Finnow flowing bank high in flood waters of brown And stormwater gurgling in the roadside drain From heavy and thundery mid August rain The Summer drawing to a close and Autumn is near And changeable weather for the time of year The farmer is not doing well financially And the wet and windy weather adds to his misery Between the thundery showers spells of warm sunshine And the forecast for tomorrow is windy and fine The summer weather it was wet overall Duhallow could do with a warm and dry Fall The old fields are covered in Nature's wildflowers They do seem to thrive in the thundery showers And behind the gray fog Clara hidden away For Summer it is not a very nice day.
