The Good the Bad and the Ugly

I wasn’t much of a bonnet gal never wanting to mess my hair at scouts I was the first rascal to toss that beanie in the air and run the *ell out of there! My college days brought brims most carnal which dipped low in the front like Cher’s. And head scarfs I removed, a scadal, to wrap around my bosoms bare so cold in the concerts open-air. Much latter, at my wedding avowal with a veil over the whole affair, I walked down the isle triumphal with a husband most debonair and oodles of family who stared. But my most favorite hat was lethal, as a pirates moll, I had savior faire, black leather and most demonical with peacock feathers trailing for flair “Argghh, me hearties, I was the bonniest there.”
