Drought

DON MCLELLAN

What is a drought to city folk? Parched yards and drooping flowers; dusty cars, four-minute showers; rising costs, expensive peaches, and look! The dams have all got beaches.

What is a drought to country folk? Starving stock and flocks of crows; ground like rock, “long paddock” droves; dusty yards, agistment fees, everything dying - men and trees.

City folk should stop complaining, and pray for the bush till it starts raining.

To the Firies

KATHRYN RODGERS

We’d like to say you’re doing well For protecting this great land; The fire brigades and volunteers Are a very special brand.

You fight the fires all through the night – Even family men; But that’s the brand you are And we’re sure you’ll fight again.

We trust the firies with our lives. They’re not just common men; We pray when you leave this earth You’ll be rewarded then.

So thank you all the firies For the good work you have done; If you’re not rewarded now You’ll be by God’s dear son.
