Best Answer

The poem is about the drought in Africa. Plomer speaks of the flooding he experienced in the past in which people died by drowning. The irony is that at the present time in the poem people are dieing of dehydration. He alludes to the fact that heat has become a symbol of Africa. The scorpion itself symbolises death.
