Tis a bit drizzly at the Creek t’day, not your
tropical ‘downpour’ farrago they’d say’s the
norm here as they’re 3rd ’n 4th generation,
in tradition if not fact, c’n harp back to what
great-granddad used to pontificate; tho not
a whit of ‘em even remember th’ ol bastard
that clearly, truth’s all hearsay embraced in
a bodgy-arse marsh of venerable romance
But peace and quiet prevails within drip &
splash suggesting THIS is the rain he’d’ve
meant, there’ll better grazing & less spent
cleaning up after bloody floods; ‘n that’s a
key which drove those earliest settlers to
reflect, full at ease in their mien routinely
