Markita and Her Head Ware
Markita wore the most stunning head wear to church
No one could see from behind her, unless they sat on a perch.
Pretty soon others were wearing competing oversized hats.
They were puffy and sticky, none of them was ever flat.
The minister had to finally make a plea to his congregation.
They all looked at Markita because of her known reputation.
Markita decided to shave her head and forgo the hats that day.
Other women followed suit, even a mohawk, for she led the way.
