A January Day In The Moyne Shire

It is warm today over thirty degrees
And the cattle are sheltering in the shade of the trees
Out of the sun where it is a bit more cool
In the brown and bare Moyne Shire coastal countryside close to Warrnambool
With just a few clouds of gray in the blue and sunny sky
The weather for many weeks has been mostly warm and dry
For weeks El Nino the thirsty one has been around
Sucking every drop of moisture out of the dry ground
In drought conditions the farmers have to feed their cattle hay
And it looks like Global Warming is with us to stay
The lakes and water dams are drying out and bone dry every drain
The Moyne Shire could do with a few days of heavy rain
But no sign of rain in the clear sunny sky
And the Moyne Shire is looking so bare and so dry.
