It's not been a good year, Australia
You've lost at cricket, you've lost at rugby
No, it's definitely not a good year
Now floods are raging everywhere, I see
The city of Brisbane looks like a sea
Brimful of river water, a deluge
That sweeps people and cars nonchalantly
Like shavings in tap water down the plug-
Hole into oblivion. No refuge
But roofs if you leave it too late, defer
Escape for one more beer, but no barbie
And for wine, not a good year. We're not smug
Here in Britain, though, as we've had our share
Of drowned towns, with more to come, probably
