No Shortage Of Things

No shortage of things for to write rhymes about The cool winds of late Autumn are blowing from the south The rain from the gray sky is drizzling down On the now green paddocks that five weeks ago were brown The long dry spell is over at least for awhile And farmer Joe is happy he has reason to smile Up to a fortnight ago he was feeding his cattle hay Now on nutritious young grass they are gaining weight by the day It is a fact that rain is as important as sunshine and fact never lie Without it grass and crops would not grow and people and other creatures of thirst and hunger would die The last few years due to lack of rain the farmers financially or in other ways not doing well Of loss of livestock and revenue they have sad stories to tell And for a rhymer no shortage of things for to write rhymes about With the rain drizzling down and the wind from the south.
