You'd better bring your 'brolly,
'Cause it's wet, wet, wet.
The weather bureau declared it's
One of the wettest winters yet.
Now, in recent years you'd be out a'walking;
The clouds, above they'd loom.
A quick downpour, you'd duck for cover,
Then your activities resume.
But not this year, my friends. Oh no!
The rain, it came to play!
And reminds us how winters used to be
When the rain would stay and stay.
Ballarat has Wendouree returned,
And a century's record broke.
Free swimming pools in the backyards
Makes gardening almost a joke.
What is growing, though, are all those weeds,
And mold on the window panes.
Quick! Wipe them down and pull them up,
When the rain begins to wane.
I'm sure the 'brolly makers
Are rubbing their hands with glee.
Everywhere we walk now'a'days
Coloured 'brollies there always be.

That was great!
It's funny isn't it, the way we are so 'out of practice' with the rain. My little drought raised daughter is a lovin' this!!
