Yet It Is A Nice Day Poem by Francis Duggan

White butterflies seemingly dancing in the breeze
And the silver billed magpies warbling on the sunlit trees
The warm air full of the buzzing of flies and nectar gathering bees
And the weather temperatures just over a pleasant twenty degrees
Wafting in the breeze the sweet aroma of hay
It is indeed quite a nice January day
The brown and dry paddocks are looking so dry
And no sign of rain clouds in the mostly blue sky
For the past few months El Nino the thirsty one has been around
Sucking every drop of moisture out of the ground
The lakes are drying out and bone dry every drain
This countryside could do with a few days of rain
Yet it is a nice day to be out and about
With the sun shining bright on this land of the south.
