The Narrabri Shire was treated to some much-needed rain late last week which continued into the weekend.
Thank you to Max Pringle for sending in this glorious poem about the rain. We hope there is much more to come.
There’s something falling from the sky
That young people mightn’t know
It’s something that old folk call rain
It did often, long ago.
It’s coming down in bucketfulls
As it did in years gone by
When we were locked in drought before
And God opened up the sky.
Some children might be terrified
When it fell on them because
It’s been so long since we’ve had rain
They would not know what it was.
Still and all it’s very welcome
And while it won’t break the drought
Let’s hope we get a lot more yet
As we’ve been so long without.
My washing on the line got wet
And I don’t care anyway
I’ll just leave it out on the line
It’d such a small price to pay.
All you climate change fanatics
Well, the climate changed today
Just as it’s done in eons past
And it will do anyway.
As a now retired farmer
It could do a lot of good
As long as we get follow up
And this time I think we could.
So God is now back in control
Shown his mercy once again
And as he does in his own time
He’s seen fit to send us rain.
