Chooks, and Rain and Hail

by Sankey

There's Andy and Holly and

Tegan and Pat.

There's Bel and the chookies

And Of course, meet the cat.

Poppy is hiding,

but Penny and Elsie

Are trying their hardest

to get in a "Selfie"

Our big storms are rare

In good old St Clair

But today was a doozy

Rain and wind everywhere.

Some places had hail

And others had tails

With chookies and doggies

We could have set sail

But then at the Moores

There was only Geoff's snores

His wife was 'a-feared',

Rain'd make it indoors.

When we want to go out

Sometimes we have doubt

We look to the west

The weather's a test.

But no matter the Bureau*

There still comes a furor

Coz sometimes their forecasts

Certainly don't last

And we just get stuck indoors.

This was inspired from a chat on Face book with a long time friend and some others talking about it being wet and windy at her place and the Chooks (expl for Uncle Sam folks - hens and roosters or chickens) wanting in out of the weather. I feel like I may return and add another verse or two to this but for now, this is it. Names at the start are fictitious to protect the whingers. Bel is the puppy. (not in the picture but now we have a cat hence the re-write Poppy and Elsie and some of the other names are the chooks. *Bureau means the Bureau of Meteorology of NSW source of Weather forecasts in our state. Thanks Ruthie Deeeez for the Stand off. Still waiting to hear from the owner of this photo, which I have converted to a cover for the entire book.)
