In Early January

In the mostly blue sunny sky just a few clouds of gray

Even for Summer in January a warm enough day

A weather temperature for the day of over thirty degrees

And rather humid with hardly any breeze

The waarm air full of the buzzing of bush flies and bees

And the cattle chewing their cuds lay in the shade of the trees

Dragon flies and butterflies in large numbers abound

Above the paddocks and gardens flying around

With the prime of the Summer every day more near

Early January in the far south can be a warm time of year

Up to a few weeks ago the grass looked quite green

But now in the paddocks some brown to be seen

Few birds chirp or sing but lots of flying insects about

On a warm day in early January in the far south.
