can you make the dragon a hat like mine

that is a high society hat, fine and fierce the dragon said.
I hope to have my own gorgeous hat before I am struck dead.
This surprised the boy, who we will call little Ted.
He called over his hat-maker, a pink alien, Ned.

Can you make the dragon a hat like mine?
No, the alien said, yours in one of a kind.
I only make hats that are totally unique, some out of bone.
But I could make him a wonderful hat of his own.

So they made a deal and the alien began making a hat.
It was suited to the dragon, and did not make him look fat.
It was another high society hat, but with shades of blue.
He wore it when he returned to his planet, OverXY2.
