Yangery On A February Day

The paddocks are looking so brown, bare and dry And no sign of rain in the sunny blue and gray sky Black cattle from the sun sheltering in the shade of the trees And warmth in the sunshine and warmth in the breeze The farm dams of water near empty and bone dry every drain Old Yangery is surely in need of some rain Yesterday cool and windy today warm and sunny the weather acting strange This well may be the symptons of climate change A weather forecast high for the day of thirty degrees And white butterflies seemingly playing in the warm afternoon breeze With the sun on their dark wings chirping as they fly Welcome swallows chase flying insects in the sunny sky The sun shining bright in the sky blue and gray It is warm and windy in Yangery on this February day.
