Sky So Blue
Sky so blue
Ah the sky was so blue,
we looked an we knew,
The rain was never about.
We never had rain,
For three years again,
Perhaps there’s another drought.
The ground cracks like a curse,
In the black soil it’s worse,
With no blades of the grass,
Trees chewed on alas,
Death, the result of no rain.
Eternity passes, dead grass an molasses,
We will have to send them a droving,
Down the long paddock route,
Any Tucker about?
Send her down Huey we’re praying.
Sky was blue for Francines contest 28-june-11
