Question: Where's the flamin' rain!?
Five years the drought has lasted now,
two thousand sheep and as many a cow
are as bones scattered about the red dust!.
If it don’t rain soon, strewth, I’ll go flamin’
Bust!.
I’ve sunk a dozen or more bores but no water
Yet,
My dams are near dry waiting for the big wet!.
Two of my youngest aint never seen any rain,
We show them pictures of big wets again and
again!.
To flamin' far from Emerald and miles from the
coast!.
It has been seven years, since we could honestly
boast that our spread could send a thousand cattle,
all well bred, way over to Muckadilla where runs the
nearest railhead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
