Bloody Heat!

4 days of over 41 degrees to 45 C

You know it's an Australian summer

when the farmers are feeding ice

to the hens so they don't lay hard boiled eggs.

 You just know it's a hot Australia

when all the trees are whistling 

at the dogs.

You just know it's hot when

you have hot water

coming out of both taps.

Yep! You just gotta get through

a hot Australia summer,

toast or fried.

This reads like South Georgia (USA), when you get burned after five minutes in the sun. A poetic “bloody heat” worthy of a page in the Farmer’s Almanac. Seems like writing indoors is the best thing to do to escape the heat. Good write, Andrew.

Thank you Robert and Merry xmas to you and yours.

if you make deviled eggs from the hard boiled eggs...then....i'd be whistling at the dogs as well.
i'll take toast, thank you.

I hate our bushfire season. 86 homes between 15kms and 20 kms from us all went up in smoke. 960 across australia already and we have two months to go.

I would like to send you some ice and snow. Here in Michigan, 12 degree and getting colder. Poor chickens needed ice. I could use a bit of Summer. I have six months of rain, snow and cold. Have fun and be safe my friend. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
