A Wet August Day In Koroit

The sky overcast looking gloomy and gray It is cool, windy and raining in Koroit today A forecast high of seven and a low of zero degrees And water dripping off of the branches of the Parkland trees The calendar Spring just a fortnight away But Spring does not start on the first of September as some like to say September can often be windy, wet and cool On the coastal lands of Koroit and Warrnambool But the Spring fast approaching as August ticks on And the worst of the Winter by now surely gone It is the magpies nesting time of the year And all through the night their flute like notes i do hear The magpies are collecting sticks for their nest On a wet August day in Koroit in Victoria's South West And though the water is dripping off of gum and wattle tree How pleasant to hear the song of the pee wee.
