The Giant Hat

Wacko Jack from Ballarat Built the most enormous hat, Made of canvas with a great big brim, Three storeys tall with a velvet trim. Some dogs howled, while babies cried When they saw Jack's hat he wore with pride, Old ladies gulped while others grinned, Until one day a howling wind Saw Jack take off, up he went, Sailing high like a flying tent, He yelled out loud with a face so grim, "Next time I"ll make a smaller brim." That same night when it was late, A UFO spotted above Bass Strait, But it was only Jack still holding on To the flying hat that'd gone so wrong. -more poems like this can be found at: kidscomedypoetry.com.au
