Hats On
English women love their hats,
From commoner to Queen;
If you watched William’s wedding,
Then you know just what I mean.
From wild and wacky to sedate,
The headgear called attention;
Most were classy - stylish, too,
And some defied convention.
The Queen was garbed in yellow,
With her hat a matching hue;
Camilla’s was humongous,
Partly hiding her from view.
Some chapeaus were feathery
And warn with jaunty flair.
Others tried to make their wearers
Seem quite debonair.
Princess sisters looked a sight;
One’s hat resembled snakes.
Maybe when they see the pics,
They’ll realize their mistakes.
Still, many hats were wonderful
And made me want to wear one.
If I lived in England, why,
I’d likely have a spare one.
A British mum with daughter
Would be wise if she’d instill in her
The skills and knowledge it would take
To one day be a milliner!
