Australia

When it's really hot and dry
The kangaroos come by
(Around sunrise and sunset)
To have a little drink and look!
At the Goanna on my gate
As he sits so still; creates a frieze
For me to contemplate!
And in the noonday heat
The stumpy tails arrive; blue tongues bright
To share my verandah's shade!
On the hottest of sunny days
My garage is even full of hot magpies!
The Galahs and Cockatoos
Make their noises all day long
I listen to them serenade as I walk along!
My two little dogs and I enjoy a little traipse
Along the long forgotten railway track
As it bends and snakes around
The quartz rocks' shine is dimming 
As the afternoon shadows elongate
And night surrounds my hearth!
