Dr Suess's Hat

Good Grief! Would you just look at that! 
That elephant sat right on my new hat!
He belongs to the man who lives next door,
Says he bought him at an elephant store.
They have big ones, small ones, and in-betweens,
This one just happens to be bright green.
They have red ones, blue ones and some with spots,
They even have one with pink polka-dots!
As for my poor hat, guess I won’t have a fit….
I’ll just thank goodness I wasn’t in it!!!

I once bought a hat online and it came looking like the elephant sat on it. Adorable and worthy of a Seuss'ian prize.
