Five degrees - a bit less than you’d expect for this
part of Queensland, but then the sun’s risen - and
calm settles as morning’s rays soothe a cloudless
blue; are we in f’ another hottie - true you’d guess,
and no breeze means no light relief unless there’s
shade to hide in; wondered why it was so quiet - a
compulsory lie-in mandates slower starts to a day
you don’t want to see an indice of climate change
Yes, we could do with a bit of rain - all the creeks
are dry and the grass has had greener days - but
that’s life isn’t it out here in th’ south east, stone’s
throw away to th’ sea where either feast, or damn
famine, rests on El Nino farts, or a La Nina whim,
but we’ll manage - and trim the cloth accordingly
