Downunder

The heat of the blue sun

Hits the windscreen 

The red sky carries 

Dirt from the last storm

Pushes it through

The car aircon

Mouth tastes muddy

Drought in Australia.

Up North relentless 

Rain falls and mud slides

 Are the new elements

Dams are full and let open

To let the pressure off

Drowning everything downwards

Monsoon in Australia.

Down South

Tasmania is on fire

Forests and wilderness

Disappear in infernos

Properties, animals 

And human lives too

Summer in Australia.

It's true, it's a continent

You can choose which 

Weather emergencies 

You prefer to deal with

Come Downunder

We have a special deal

All three in one weekend

Downunder climate change 

Does not exist or so they say!
