IT’S SUMMER IN AUS

JEGJan2019

Sizzling hot, melting pot Oppressive heat, burning feet Trickling sweat, cold drink? You bet! All this because? It’s summer in Aus Sunburnt nose, sticky wet clothes Lightning flash, thunder crash Afternoon storm, that’s the norm All this because? It’s summer in Aus Tinder dry, hot sparks fly Crippling drought, hardships mount Bushfires flare to our despair All this because? It’s summer in Aus Swim between flags, BBQ snags Bright blue skies, swatting flies Ice cold booze, afternoon snooze All this because? It’s summer in Aus Sweltering days, humidity haze Evening breeze sure to please On the deck, what the heck All this because? It’s summer in Aus!!
