Nature Does Not Seem Settled

 A cool Summer day just nineteen degrees the sky it is looking quite gray
Behind the clouds well hidden from view the sun has not been out today
But the change in the weather not an unwelcome thing the dry ground is in need of rain
And by the weather forecast tomorrow will be warm and quite sunny again
The paddocks  it does seem in need of plenty rain surrounding the old country town
The long spell of dry and warm weather does tell on them today they do look quite bare and brown
But in parts of Queensland and northern New South Wales the overflowing waterways have flooded miles of countryside
And a few human lives  to the floods have been lost and thousands of animals of drowning have died
Compared to them our weather not bad at all since we have received little rain
But some people can be hard to satisfy and  will find a reason to complain
In the age of climate change weatherwise one can expect anything since  the weather seems so quick to change
Nature does not seem settled in her ways of late she has been acting strange
When she does grow angry in earthquakes, storms, floods and fires she gives rise to tears and heartbreak
And death and destruction and sorrow of loss she leaves behind her in her wake.
