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!
