Many will know that Macca regularly seeks weather forecasts from listeners during his Sunday morning programmes.
Thought I'd send him one -

Weatherforecast,
Down Under

Hurryin’ down the ol’ dirt track,
early morning - fine ‘n sunny.
Down behind the scribbly gum
toward our backyard dunny.

Wind is whistlin’ in the trees,
bees is makin’ honey.
Over from the scribbly gum
just near our backyard dunny.

Think a southerly storm is brewin’,
hear the rumblin’ thunder.
Lightnin’ flashin’ up on high
in the land
Down Under.

What is the weather goin’ ter be
I sits ‘n waits in wonder.
Perched upon the wooden seat
in the land
Down Under.

Macca needs a forecast tried ‘n true
for his Sund’y plunder - Ahhhhh !!

I’ve done what I had to do
in the land
Down Under.
