Red Sky In The Morning
The sky turns a dark shade of red
My heart clenches in fear
In my home town red sky means “Bushfire”
I smell the air, but there is nothing.
The wind picks up and the car cowers and shakes
A strange creature rolls across the road
And beats angrily against the car door
A Tumbleweed!
Then I understand….
It is my first West Texas dust storm
The locals tell me this is nothing but a bit of wind
When you’ve red dirt in your ears and it is raining red mud…
Now that is a dust storm!

it is so real, and such a cute depiction of the hub =]
I was able to see the dark and terrible dust storm through the eyes of an Australian Native.
I am sure that I would be just as frightened if I were swimming in the Great Barrier Reef!
Thank you for a fun and descriptive filled slice of Aussie Humor!
Delicious!
