The Magpies Are Singing In Birdsland Today

The high paddocks of South Belgrave are looking green As healthy looking as they ever have been The currawong calling rain not far away And the magpies are singing in Birdsland today The overcast sky it is looking quite gray We've not had much sunshine since the end of May The dark welcome swallows near to the grass fly Still the weather is pleasant enough for July The weather forecast tells of more heavy rain And brown stormwater flowing in every drain Yet the weather not cold it is fifteen degrees And the voice of the pee wee carrying in the breeze Mid Winter in the south is a green time of year And with each passing day the calendar Spring near Not cold for the Season it would seem fair to say And the magpies are singing in Birdsland today.
