By The Merri In September Poem by Francis Duggan

The sky overcast looks like rain on the way
In the parks by the Merri on this September day
The warbling songs so pleasant to hear
Of the magpies who sing every day of the year
Near where the dark waters of the Merri from it's source far away
Enters the Pacific by Middle Island at Lady Bay
Near the south west Victoria's coastal City of Warrnambool
Where the weather though not warm is also not too cool
Though the weather can be changeable in the early Spring
It is nice for to hear the nest building birds sing
The breeding frogs singing in every pond and drain
And the coastal parks and paddocks looking quite green after the recent rain
On a weather high temperature of a very pleasant seventeen
Such beauty in Nature every day to be seen.
