A Gold Coast Christmas Day

No alcohol by law to be consumed in public places on Christmas Day
But indoors people do eat and drink their cares away
In the coolness of their verandahs out of the sunshine
The families and friends eat and get merry on beer, whiskey and wine
On the Gold Coast of Queensland at Christmas this is their way
It is  each to their own as some do like to say
The weather quite warm close to thirty degrees
And little relief from the humid heat in the warm breeze
That blow up the  streets and  the  parks by the bay
On weatherwise a typical Gold Coast Christmas Day
The rainbow and scaly breasted lorikeets on the flowering trees parrots of the sunshine
Chirping with delight as on nectar they do dine
On Christmas day on the Gold Coast in a warm and humid time of year
With the warmest of the Summer to Southern Queensland quite near.
