Hats

Have you heard the term “man of many hats” Well you sure haven't heard this version! When I wear a cowboy hat and saddle up I'm Jesse James, an amazing conversion! At times I feel brave and put on a fireman's hat The wee kiddies all wanna be my friend! Tell them I was once knighted by the queen Probably lying's not a good message to send! The hard steel hat of a construction worker Turns me into a this macho type man! The only problem is, I'm scared silly of heights And I make lots of trips to the can! Once put on the hat of a big strong viking Sure scared all the people around me! Pulled out my sword to impress them all Ended up cutting myself quite badly! The ultimate though is when I wear a fedora I look handsome and quite debonair! Till I speak and I sound like a Donald Duck My image needs a lot of repair! Guess I'm most comfortable in my jester hat Tried others but this fits me the best! My goal is to put a smile on some faces All my friends with whom I've been blessed! © Jack Ellison 2015

That Jester's hat is where it's at... anything goes, when you write like that... Every idea hits a home run... With a Quill full of fun... You make it inviting, in every brave chat...
