On lush grass chewing their cuds the black two year old steers lay
In good health and plump looking gaining weight by the day
They little realize that the end for them is near
That they will not be alive for the Spring of next year
Above the paddocks in the grey morning sky
On pursuit of flying insects the dark swallows fly
In mud nest on shed rafters nearby they have young for to feed
Survival of their genes for them in their young is a natural need
In the southern October great natural beauty to be seen
The countryside looking so healthy and green
The paddocks resplendent in their Nature's flowers
That have come to bloom after recent Spring showers
The nesting birds are singing on the bushes and trees
Their music is carrying in the freshening breeze
That blow up the hill from the saltwater bay
On what is a typical October day.
