Another Country Dance.
© Ron Boughton 7/11/21
In banking clouds we were born, two disco dancing raindrops,
The first of such in turbulence, that spanned dry-mountain tops!
And then with drum roll, cymbals clanged and we were on our way
We hit parched earth, we’d led the charge, and how that band did play!
With light show dazzling flashing forth we syncronised in swing
And danced a dance of passion, for drought, is a shocking thing!
We danced and danced a rain dance and put out a coo-ee call
For countless more to join us, to send this drought to the wall!
Like champagne towers rock pools filled as trickles turned to flows
As down the mountainsides we danced to tunes of tapping toes!
And countless billions, of brothers danced in syncopated rhythm
Then infinite trillions in the chase, joined right in there with ‘em!
We led that charge out to the plains, where, we danced the tango,
And didn’t slow down until we’d filled, every dam and tank though!
A river dance was next in line, where western rivers flowed
And demon drought, who couldn’t dance, drowned at the devils crossroad!
The wetlands filled and we danced, with all the birds that flocked there,
And black swans with tuxedo looks were graceful in -mocked prayer!
Then as we danced on every roof a tap-dance from the clouds,
Beneath, we sensed the lifting of, so many 'black dog' shrouds!
At last our job had been done, for as far as we could tell
The drought was totally beaten, we had sent him back to Hell!
But we will fight again one day, no doubt, in dance recital,
For we, are components of …the original recycle!
