No More Rain (Tim Flannerys Prediction)
by Robert (Bob) Moore

Tim woke up this morning, banged his head against the wall
I once told the people, “no more rain would fall”
so they built a desalination plant, to purify sea water
hope they don’t send me the bill, but I guess they really oughta

It has rained quite a bit since then, it’s raining here today
the ice caps are still melting, and some small islands washed away
but we will get a drought again, of that there is no doubt
and others like our Tim, will be chanting doomsday all about

I am not saying Man, has not stuffed up this Planet bad
but it’s been done so we could have, the life that we have had
but turning our lights on and  off, will not fix the damage done
we need to make some solid plans, not windfarms and some sun

We need scientists to come together, make our energy all clean 
not argue, and point the finger, about what’s already been
a workable solution, with conservation, starting first
and maybe build another dam, before the ones we have all burst

Scary because without water we are dead! California is experiencing a bad drought here in the USA as well where quite a bit of our food comes from…might very well lead to food inflation. Take care Bob!

We had a bad drought a few years ago in Sydney Cheryl, water restrictions everywhere, we had a rainwater tank installed to water the garden, never had to use it since the drought broke Cheers Bob
