A Warm February Day In Illowa

 The day it is warm close to thirty degrees

And only the slightest of a coastal breeze

Gently stirring the leaves on the taller trees

And the warm air full of the buzzing of  flies and bees

For Illowa of the Moyne Shire a warm February day

And black cattle chewing their cuds in the shade of the tall trees do lay

The warbling of the magpies who sing all through the year

In the warmth of late Summer so pleasant to hear

Home to emu, koala, echidna, black wallaby and grey kangaroo

And long billed corella and yellow tailed black cockatoo

Tower Hill once home to the indigenous tribe the Peek Wurrong

In the tweny first century to Nature belong

A weather temperature for the day of a high of twenty nine

And white butterflies are flitting in the warm sunshine.
