Red River Gum

Oh, River!
Thank you for your nourishment.
Like a mother you give me encouragement.
Glimmering, calm and alive, 
Oh River, without you I couldn't thrive!

Oh, Boisterous Corellas!
The perfect opposite of a mouse, 
You are a riotous mad house!
Shrieking, screeching and squawking, 
Oh Corellas, you keep me up in the early morning!

Oh, Bushfire!
Are you a blessing or a curse?
You will bring down my universe!
Scorching, colossal and intimidating, 
Oh Bushfire, nevertheless, you are regenerating!
