• A hot Summer Day
    Winds like a gale
    A fire rushed away
    Like it was following a trail

    Nothing was heard
    Nobody knew
    That this fire had occurred
    And was moving quickly too

    Smoke filled the air
    The flames would appear
    People were left to stare
    As the CFA rushed with the gear

    The many sky cranes
    Dropped water from up high
    To save the plains
    Still nobody knew why.

    Fires numbered three
    Blazes out of control
    As many tried to flee
    Even into a wombat hole

    The firers fought
    With much determination
    But who would have thought
    There would be so must devastation

    Australia rallied
    Donations from afar
    Nobody dallied
    It was all very bizarre

    Clothing & Food
    Medicine & Help
    All improved the mood
    But many animals yelp

    Care was given
    One Arsonist Caught
    Police all driven
    By survivors Distraught

    Victims are found
    Families lost
    Communities gather round
    And count the cost

    The weather now cool
    Containment lines set
    Blacked out fuel
    To reduce the threat

    From everyone here
    Well wishes are sent
    To calm the fear
    To ease the torment
