（雪梨隨筆el

                                                 缺了水的天堂

                                            她有數不盡的蔬果與稻麥       

                                        她有滿山遍野的牛羊

                                            寶物埋沙漠       

                                        城市望海洋

                                            但她少了崇峻的高山       

                                        也缺了汪汪的大湖

                                        上天更忘了給她幾條滔滔的長江

                                        雖然海岸四邊環繞       

                                        處處見浴場

                                        但缺水的日子       

                                        總叫人神傷

                                        花草樹木欲淋浴       

                                        一周惟有兩次湯

                                        赤日炎炎高空照         

                                            樹根只得屋底藏

                                            土乾地基陷       

                                        牆裂心裡慌

                                            今次雨神來光顧       

                                        久候甘霖免斷腸

                                            雖有金、銀、煤、鐵、

                                        ……石油及鈾礦

                                        她 ！ 還是缺了水的天堂
