Notes About The Poem

Funny Hats Poetry Contest. Tom Woody     17/2/24

Funny hat joke

" All the funny jokes are a bit smutty" :(  ~~ The poet~~


Such a sunny day, yet the lake was mine, not a soul to be seen.
Too good to be true the place to myself quieter than it had ever been.

Leaving my clothes beside a small bush I decided to go for a swim.
But when I came back everything was gone, left only a hat with a torn brim.

No undies no sox not a thing to put on, I had to cover all with that hat.
On the way home, an old woman laughed,  “Oh my goodness what is that?“ 

“Madam if you were a lady you wouldn’t laugh at the predicament I am at" 
She replied “ Well if you were a gentleman you would tip your hat !’’

Dear Wen, I loved this! Love the story here with its great sense of humour. The picture goes with it brilliantly and the last line was genius! Made me chuckle so much and put a smile on my face to start the day. Thank you for that dear friend :):)

I never remember Jokes. This was from an old recording of Dr. Murray Banks. For some reason I always remembered it. My brother sends me funny ones he hears at bowls and golf , but they are all a tad "smutty" I couldn't use them here. Thanks for your beautiful comment, as always I am indebted to you for your gracious kindness. .. Wen
