And Another Thing

Mama got tired of his hats; He strowed them all over the house, Her temper was short, this woman, Never as quiet as a mouse. If it's been done before, I can do it, So she went to the lumber store, Bought a big flat board, brought it home, With ten penny nails for her chore. You never heard such a banging hammer, The board went up with its nails, And Pappa's hat rack was finished, A coat of wall paint did prevail. Now, the hats are a nice decoration, If Pappa would just hang up them felts, but Mama's got another thing to yell about, "Hang up your blankety hats - or else!"

Hey SW, I just happened to stumble across this funny and very apropos poem. My wife and your mom are likely kindred spirits. I can't even find my hats anymore! Fun one, thanks! - Dean

Almost true story, Chris! It was a running feud between my parents. Men wore hats in their time.
