RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0.5" so far

Between bad December and super dry May it was getting really, really bad. As in some sheep were about to go to the butchers early simply because there is nothing for them to eat.

The weather has been sultry for a fortnight now or more,
And the shearers have been driving might and main,
For some have got the century who ne'er got it before;
But now all hands are waiting for the rain.

For the boss is getting rusty, and the ringer's caving in,
His bandaged wrist is aching with the pain,
And the second man, I fear, will make it hot for him
Unless we have another fall of rain.
