The bush is burning! ScoMo should resign!
No! All the Greens should jump into the fire โ
Take with them their chai lattes, cheese, and wine.
The bush is burning! Scomo should resign!
But for the Greens the bush would be just fine!
The stupid Greens have earned the nationโs ire!
The bush is burning! ScoMo should resign!
No! All the Greens should jump into the fire!

We’re getting a lot of news about Australia’s fires. Sounds horrible. ๐ฆ I did see one picture where firemen were smiling because it had started to rain. But, of course, that would only be one area of the fire and I haven’t seen a follow-up to know whether the rain was heavy enough to put out some of the fire. Been thinking about you in that regard.
The fires are under control in Queensland where I live but still some bad ones in the southern states. It’s happened before but made a lot worse this time by a bad drought and states not conducting burnoffs in the cooler months. Also getting a lot more publicity these days although the death toll is a lot less than other years.
