As The Dark Clouds Of Rain

As the dark clouds of rain are gathering in the sky The birds sing and whistle in the parkland nearby From listening to Nature's creatures knowledge of weather we do gain The birds always whistle and sing before rain The sun in the heavy clouds hidden away It was only seen out for a brief while today Two days ago it was thirty five degrees Today it is twenty and rain in the breeze The magpie is piping on a wattle tree And the magpie lark can be heard calling pee wee And the golden billed blackbird has rain in his song As forecasters of weather the birds never do get it wrong The rain will be welcome since El Nino of moisture has sucked the ground dry And the moorhen in the pond utters forth her shrill cry.
