Short Bushfires Poems

With the heavy rains
after the long drought
and devastating bushfires
the roses are blooming to bursting
with joy....

Heat is soaring
Bushfires are burning
Floods are raging
Covid is concerning

Sharks are attacking
Human controversy 
Self inflicted deaths
Country uncertainty...

The swirl of the pipes
Playing in Hogmanay
In the cold crisp air
On this New Year’s Day

Out with 2020 what a year
We’ve had enough of it now 
Bushfires and COVID 19 
We can cry foul

In the years that follow
They will be sweet
2021 is here now
Let’s make life complete.

Once were dinners a'deux, you see,
Was it only a few months, or a century?
Once were schools abuzz with kids,
Teachers agog to see what did they did,
Once were universities,

Once were pubs with beers,
Once were football here,
These are viral times, my dears,
Once were bushfires too,
A horror story for me and you,
Yes, Stephen King wrote this year,
Once were Oz fun times, not fears!...

Our respect they've totally gained,
Laying their lives on the line,
When the weather's too hot and fine,
Burn, Victoria, burn,
El Nino's torrid urn.
Our noble defenders, each day,
Real heroes in the news, I  say,
As they battle bushfires today,
How brave are our fire brigades?...
