The Day Is Very Humid And Warm

The day is very humid and warm with hardly any breeze
The sheep for coolness do shelter in the shadow of the trees
The weather temperatures never pleasant when above thirty degrees
And the warm air full of the buzzing of bush flies and bees
The bush flies are annoying as around your face they do crawl
They are even hard to swat being so nimble, quick and small
Bush flies not the favorite subjects of rural men and women of rhyme
They breed in the paddocks on cow patties in the warmth of Summertime
Though annoying that they crawl all over humans and animals is surely not their fault
As like most things in Nature they are only seeking salt
That forms on the skin on the sweat pores all day long they keep buzzing around
Where cattle are in rural paddocks bush flies in plague numbers abound
The day is very humid and warm well over thirty degrees
And the air it is full of the buzzing of bush flies and nectar gathering bees.
