Down The Brown And Dry Paddocks

Down the dry and brown paddocks the creek trickling slow And on a gray gum tree a dark pale eyed crow Is cawing in the gloam just after sundown In the countryside between Warrnambool City and Koroit Town Though yesterday evening we did have some rain The creek remains very low and bone dry every drain The weather is moody and acting quite strange Could it be that this has to do with climate change For many years the industrial revolution has been out of control And on the natural environment has been taking toll For human progress in global warming the price we do pay Two days ago it was forty degrees it is sixteen today Human created pollution is blowing in the breeze Perhaps one of the reasons for a drop in weather temperatures in two days of twenty four degrees The sun bronzed paddocks are looking so dry That us humans do not have a part to play in the weather mood swings only a fool would deny The water levels dropping in every farm dam and lake And yesterday's rain any difference did not make To the brown creek that has not increased in it's flow Down the brown and dry paddocks it trickles on slow.
