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.
