Warm Day In March

The paddocks are brown and bare looking and dry And no sign of rain in the blue and gray sky The creek flowing in a trickle and bone dry every drain This countryside could do with some heavy rain Today warm and sunny yesterday cool with a strong breeze A weather variation in one day of at least ten degrees The weather for some while has been acting so strange Perhaps these are symptoms of Climate Change Yet on this beautiful March day white butterflies dance in the breeze And the magpies are warbling on the sunlit trees Yet no rain in the forecast though the land of rain is in need And the farmers to their sheep and cattle hay now does feed It is pleasant weather though many pray for rain The water dams low and bone dry every drain.
