Weatherwise Of Sliabh Luachra And Duhallow

Weatherwise of Sliabh Luachra and Duhallow not any good news from there
On the fields and on the roadways brown flood waters everywhere
Every day there it is raining it has been raining since the Fall
Of Sliabh Luachra and Duhallow the weather reports not good at all

Hungry cattle in the farmyard sheds bellowing for silage or hay
For climate Change and Global Warming there is a big price to pay
In drought or months of storm and heavy rainfall climate Change is Worldwide
For kilometers on either side of the Cork and Kerry border a flood covered countryside

Down from the rugged Boggeragh Ranges the cold Winter winds are blowing
And the rills, streams and rivers and the fields drains overflowing
And water spilling on every roadway from every roadside drain
One thing they do not need in Sliabh Luachra and Duhallow and this is not any more rain

Weather patterns seem to vary greatly in these times of Climate Change
In most Countries of the World Nature she is acting strange
Of months of drought or storms and rainfall no two Countries are the same
For the swinging moods of Nature us humans are not free of blame

Of Sliabh Luachra and Duhallow weatherwise the news is sad
It is cold and wet and windy every forecast seems so bad
From the foothills of the Boggeraghs storm water is rushing down
To cover most of the countryside in flood waters of brown.
