The Akubra hat

My Akubra Hat

By Carlo Gabbi

My old Akubra

is an old brimmed hat

which well knows how to keep

the torrid outback sun away

 

I’m still wearing it

over my head,

even if is now well wore off,

at my return from the farm.

 

This old Akubra has become my best friend

and together for the past fifty years

and seen around

memorable things.

 

Certainly my hat

suffer now from old age…

still is the best of friends protecting me well!

 

As all the old Akubra’s

looks greasy with stained patches

and present a large hole,

memory of old times.

 

I know is old, but so am I!

living in the bush

we saw many things together

while running on camel back.

 

We hunted kangaroos

And fossicked for opals

As well we run over dinosaurs spoors.

 

Today we have retired

but still we’re the best old mates!

Someone suggested me

to get rid of it.

 

‘No way’ I said,

‘how could I?’

separate from  

the companion of my entire life!
