My Black Cowboy Hat

I have a black cowboy hat I wear on certain days, like when a night of partying is the only goal. The wearing of this cowboy hat brings out my wicked ways, when loudly and with fanfare, into the bar I stroll and the only thing I don't do is to dance on the stripper pole. This hat, it transforms the meek little me into a wild woman , not to be tamed, I put on quite a show, you see, because of it, my reputation's defamed and of course, it's the hat I've blamed. I should probably throw the hat away before I land in jail but it really does suit me, makes me look quite fine. As long as I have good friends to help me post my bail I'll wear the hat and party on and really try to shine and of course the blame is not the hat's, it really is just mine. ~~for Carol Brown's 'Favourite Hat or Bonnet' contest

Isn't it funny how certain clothes seem to affect our self-image, Francine? This hat empowers you, makes you feel like a "wild woman." I have a slinky black dress that makes me feel that way. I wrote about a cowboy hat as well, but it just made me feel like a cowgirl (if that's a word?). Don't know how I missed this earlier, but I love it and hope to see it in the winners' circle. Love, carolyn

wow, Francine, you really excelled with this one for the hat contest. I am a bit envious of all the good hat poems I am seeing and I cannot think of a single thing to say for this contest! I am sure this was invented especially with the stipper pole line, but maybe not?? hahaha. Luv, Andrea
