Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Doff of the Cap

A doff of the cap
  a tip of the hat
Nowadays 
  we rarely see that

It’s not that 
  men walk about
unhatted, uncapped

Rather, removing the cap
  reveals quite a gap

Ann Foster June 11, 2022 at 11:25 AM Love hats... of all kinds... Great write. Ann Gershon Wolf June 11, 2022 at 8:32 PM It's all about 'hattitude!' Smiles, gw

Kenneth Cheney June 10, 2022 at 7:39 PM Hats off to you Mr. Wolf for this inciteful write. Kenneth Cheney June 15, 2022 at 12:39 PM You are correct, which is an insightful observation. You know I never like to incite anyone. Once again I tip my hat to you. Gershon Wolf June 11, 2022 at 8:54 PM Ha, ha, ha! Love your comment, Kenneth! (I think you meant 'insightful' with an 's.'... But I like what you wrote better!) ~ The Instigator

John Watt June 10, 2022 at 12:49 PM I've noticed another chivalrous gesture that has gone away: a wave of "thank you" on the freeway when somebody lets another car into their lane... very rare to see these days. Nice write, Lobo John Watt June 12, 2022 at 12:45 AM Birdman - LOL Gershon Wolf June 11, 2022 at 9:20 PM Thank you has been replaced oft-times by three fingers, and you are supposed to 'read between the lines.' ~ Birdman

L Milton Hankins June 9, 2022 at 9:29 PM In my case, I forget I'm wearing it, gw. I didn't start wearing a cap until rather recently, and I forget I have it on, I'm so used to it. I try to remember to remove it when I'm eating. Gershon Wolf June 11, 2022 at 8:32 PM Can I call you 'Cap' now? -- as in 'Cap Anson,' the all-time great Chicago White Stockings (now Cubs) player?

Jeff Kyser June 9, 2022 at 7:22 PM A tip of the hat to a poem ‘bout dat! Gershon Wolf June 9, 2022 at 8:10 PM Dat's right!! Thanks, Jeff. Peace, Gershon

Kim Rodrigues June 9, 2022 at 6:23 PM The end…lol! My cousin is a stand up when woman come back to the table kind of guy…unique in this day and age. Gershon Wolf June 9, 2022 at 8:40 PM My wife doesn't sit down at the table until I do -- which isn't long! lol. ~ They don't call me late to dinner! :)
