In Yarpturk On A Warm Day

The warm air full of the buzzing of bush flies and bees
In a weather temperature high of over thirty degrees
The sun glowing bright in a sky blue and grey
Six kilometers from Koroit Town in Yarpturk today
The unmistakeable warbling quite pleasant to hear
Of the birds who do sing every day of the year
The black and white Australian magpies of the distinctive song
Once seen and once heard one can never again get them wrong
Out of the sun and the warm breeze
The cattle and sheep stand in the shade of the trees
And above the dry brown paddocks in the sunlit sky
The dark swallows chasing flying insects chirping as they fly
In Yarpturk on a warm day in mid January
In a weather temperature high of thirty three.
