Well I didn't get a go the first time arouund

The Bush

Assemble all the big red trucks, the tinder is so dry
Release the stop cock safety valves, no need to question why,
The air as from a dragons breath blasts scorching tidal waves,
As if its bloods hot cauldron, it’s intimidation craves!
Let safety first prioritise - the going will get tough,
As eucalypts explode, polluting volatile hot stuff!
There’ll be no time for anyone, to sit upon their tush!
When this extreme of nature flares, in our …Australian bush!

At last, an original rhyme for "bush". Love it Ron! Nothing hotter than that dragon's breath is there?

Heather

Thanks Heather glad that you enjoyed it.
Yep, It's hot allright!!
Ron

I like it Ron! Dragon's breath is all the go now especially those of us in their second childhood!
Thanks

Dot

Thanks For that Dot,
Second childhood! perish the thought! it's really only a reassessment of our first!
Cheers
Ron

There's another one after this one?

Yep!

Well done and a great use of the prompts Ron and as Heather so rightly points out a novel rhyme for Bush. You might want to correct 'there tush' to 'their tush '

Thanks Maureen, and oops! yes Correction all done, I have been doing that a bit lately, have to give the brainbox 'spell check' a good talking to!
Cheers
Ron

I've given this one a run on our Facebook Page Ron along with a great bushfire piccie from a mate of mine
