On A Total Fire Ban Day Poem by Francis Duggan

It is hot enough to fry an egg on a rock as some do like to say
Today is surely an out of the sun day
The cattle shelter in the shade of the trees
As the weather temperatures climb up to forty degrees

The breath of a furnace in the southerly breeze
And the pollen it blows out from the flowering plants cause some to sneeze
Those allergic to pollen indoors obliged to stay
To be out in such weather the price too high for them to pay

In these times of Global Warming weather patterns are strange
Even the most ardent sun lover will welcome the cool change
That the weather forecasters say will blow in overnight
Tomorrow supposed to be calmer with less heat in the sunlight

In what well may be the warmest day of the year
The cawing of a pale eyed crow the only bird voice i do hear
On a total fire ban day the danger of fire many do fear
One has to feel thankful that the cool change is near.
