Margaret And The Tiffany Hat

She wore a tiffany hat with a bow and six big plumes of red and white, it had an ultra wide asymmetrical brim that rolled up to one side. When it came to dames like this I believe God ran out of humble stock ! She wore pompadour shoes, like she had nothing to lose and rouge so red it made the cardinals have fainting spells ! Her hair was soaked in henna, elderberry & radish extract, and I believe her dress was stitched in the boudoir of coco-channel! She was a nouveau riche reveling in her new found fame and everything in her life was right as rain until that fatal day, when her hat expanded 10 x its size, growing past her shoulders like a great big beast, of leavened yeast! Her hat pins strained from the strain of those great big plumes, moaning and groaning from her lithe walk and all that perfume ! Then First World War arrived and suddenly it was unpatriotic to be concerned with one's appearance ! She was no Rockefeller and didn't own a rupee nor a heller, so she became a steadfast loyal dame, like dear old Helen Keller . What happened to that big old hat, with the plumes of red and white ? She stewed it, brewed it, boiled it down then poured it in a flask, and yes she drank it slowly,... just in case you thought to ask ! March 30/ 2025
