Headgear

Ear muffs perch on little heads In poof or sparkly style, While furry pom poms bounce on hats Engendering a smile. Hoods with fuzzy fake-fur trim Are pulled ‘round reddened faces As well as ski or baseball caps, Which stay in men’s good graces. Winter headgear keeps us warm But fashion counts, as well, Until we step inside to find Our hairstyles look like hell!

Bed head, hat head and the like's. Don't look yourself straight in the mirror for surely God know's YIKES! :) We used to have king of the hill games where we would snap our long cone shaped hats with tassels at each other. Sixth grade. :) Oh to be a child again.
