Let's Wear a Hat

Hats! Hats! Hats! I love them! don't you? They brighten my day, and other people's, too! "I just love your hat!" you'll hear them say. And just for a while, you've put a smile on their day. Sometimes, the hats I buy need a personal touch: A clip on flower, a pretty pin, something outrageous, that will bring a grin. The hat on my head, says "Hi," to the day, and I can handle whatever comes my way. A hat lifts spirits, on days that we're down. But when I'm wearing my purple, poke-a-dotted hat, who can wear a dark day frown. We're all in good company, when there's a hat on our heads. Because even newborn babies, wear them in their beds. But Listen, hat lover's, when you think you've bought them all, wait until once again, you're at the shopping mall!

A wonderful poem on hats. When I was much much younger I loved wearing hats. I had a Panama hat that was my favorite. I think I will go shopping for hats soon.

I would have loved to see you in your Panama hat! And I'm happy to hear you will be shopping for hats again soon. Don't you agree they make people turn their heads and stare. Hats affect people in wonderful ways. Some hats make them remember what they used to wear, like you said about my poem and your Panama hat.

this is a really good one on hats. Are you from England, by chance? I hear they wear a lot of hats over there. Here in US., women hardly ever wear them.

Thanks for liking my hats poem, Andrea. No, I'm from Iowa, now living in Ca. I see a lot of women wearing hats here, and many seniors as well, mostly to cover our gray heads. I love all the different styles and colors I see.And in the winter when heads get cold,more women will be wearing them. I think maybe you just have not be noticing. If you look for hats you'll see them. Check out the stores with all the hat selections. Try one on and see how it makes you feel.
