Aussie Slouch Hat

Slouch Hat When you see the hat or hear the tune so fair, you'll know what its about. The old "Slouch hat" that our Digger's wear, and the "Waltzing Matilda" no doubt. Yes we have some pride in what we've done, of the convict blood in this race. We'll never be happy unless we've won, to lose is a big disgrace. Whenever asked, well we've been there, to aid our friends in a War. Our boys they've died, yes died with flair, since the Breaker fought the Boer. Well now we're multicultural, mixed, all sorts, but all Aussies any rate. New Aussies can be good at sports, so say "Good on you mate." It doesn't matter how smart you are, don't try politics, be a clown. You can be very popular, till the newsmen pull you down. Character assassination is their trade, they cut tall poppies short. Brainwashing by the sentence made, they got Bondy didn't they sport? When you see our Diggers on a farewell parade, all races so proudly march there . And the Waltzing Matilda so loudly is played, it picks up your feet with its flair. The Bayonets are fixed and Sabres displayed for the Diggers its walking on air. They're off to do battle with the tools of their trade, the young and the brave proudly there. by D H Johnson. ________________________________________
