enjoying blue sky and the parks.
A drought's a good time for selling your car,
it saves you from wiping rain marks.
A drought's a good time for painting tin roofs,
in the wet season it's such a pain.

there's no finishing rush to beat rain.

your tent will stay dry; as will food.

(but not all at once or you're nude!)

no work stoppage caused by the wet.

no need to get strung out, or fret.
A drought's a good time for to visit the bank,
or balance the books, and the debt.
A drought's a good time for unloading your trucks,
and there's loads to be done, you can bet.
A drought's a good time for cleaning the dams,
to pick out the junk from the bottom.
A drought's a good time for picking off stones,
and every year each paddock's got'em.
A drought's a good time for checking the bound'ries,
and for repairing the fence.
A drought's a good time for learning new stuff,
the scope of the topics...immense.
A drought's a good time to install a new pool,
or a new pond, or a moat.
A drought's a good time for cleaning your ski's,
and for repairing the boat.
Despite these praises sung 'bout droughts
with such a cheerful tune, ...
I wish that it would bloody rain ...
And bloody do it soon!
