South Australia - harsh and dry
Its arid landscape, too rain-shy
Is now beset by heatwave* fierce
Where people’s safety must come first.
Adelaide will bear the brunt
Of this unwelcome scorching front
The word is let the aircon flow
Close all curtains and lie low!
Though I love sun, this is extreme!
Relentless heat from solar beam
With no respite in night time hours
Heightens need for daily showers!
Social interaction - low
Internet the way to go
Forget unnecessary tasks;
Far niente though is a big ask!
Commuters still must brave the heat
And dogs “go walkies” in the street
But those, like me, with no work need
Can relax at home – and read…
