Question

6.Read the poem carefully and fill in the blanks:

After days of hot sun, down came the rain,

It watered the garden, and flowed down the drain.

In less than five hours, the month's quota met,

The news had reported, a record was set.

The drink was welcomed by the parched earth,

Ending the dry spell, experienced by Perth.

But soon people complained about getting wet,

They wanted the sun, how soon they forget.

We are never satisfied with what we get,

It's too cold, too dry or too wet.

We want 24 degrees, with sky that is blue,

And rain for an hour, in the morning at two.

We should be grateful, for the sun and the rain,

Make most of it all, and do not complain.

When things do happen, which we cannot control,

Leave it in his hands, it's part of his goal.
