Turbulence in many places,
Ethics are put through their paces;
Riots, bushfires, floods are clues
To what is making today’s news.
We learn of Nuuk* in frozen north …
Talk of invasion and so forth;
All this has a disquieting ring
What changes will this new year bring?
Great Ocean Road – torrential rains
Bushfires rage – huge livestock claims
Caravans get washed away!
New “Anti-Hate” laws cause dismay.
Mid-summer so all schools are closed
Kids’ antics keep Mums on their toes
Sunhats and suncream still a must…
Native gardens dry as dust!
This Southern world needs different norms:
Glaring sun then sudden storms;
It’s tough to know just what to wear
Bright colours though, are everywhere!
