In Park Lake Pertobe

A windsy day in Park Lake Pertobe in September near the prime of the Spring
The nesting songbirds on the trees do chirp whistle and sing
Some of the moorhens, swamphens, coots and little grebes that in or near the lake do breed
Already have their Spring's first young to care for and to feed
September in Park Lake Pertobe is a lovely time of year
The warbling songs of the magpies always a joy to hear
The yellow billed male glossy black birds with the distinctive song
Once seen and once heard these familiar birds one never again could get wrong
The silver gulls above the lake are mewing as they fly
In Middle Island bordered by the sea and the Merri river they breed to Park Lake Pertobe nearby
And the magpie larks building their cup shaped nest of mud on fork of branch of tree
Do live up to their known nickname by their song of pee wee
On a sunless September day in Lake Pertobe of a pleasant seventeen degrees
The pleasant songs of the nesting birds carrying in the freshening breeze
The weather for the time of year quite typical though windy not too cool
On a nice place for to visit near the City of Warnambool.
