In Illowa This Morning

The first of June and the calendar Winter only four sleeps away And it is cool though sunny in Illowa today But a magpie he is warbling on a black wattle tree And the magpie larks are calling their familiar pee wee The up to three weeks ago brown and bare paddocks after the recent rain Are looking green and healthy the grass is growing again And the contented cattle chewing their cuds at ease gaining weight by the day On the nutritious young grass no longer in need of hay In Illowa this morning the sunny sky is clear And the migratory cattle egrets back amongst the herds it is this time of year They eat the fleeing insects that the cattle disturb as they graze The workings of the one known as Nature never ceases to amaze In the blue sky above Illowa just a few clouds of gray The weather is quite pleasant for late Autumn and May.
