Hello and welcome to Go Dog Go Cafe’s Promotes Yourself Monday…… Sadly, down here in in Australia we experiencing vast, raging bushfires, I’m safe here in Victoria, but huge areas of New South Wales, are really struggling with the firestorms….. we are praying for rain to relieve this terrible situation, and I’ve just written this poem, which somewhat portrays this horrific event……..
