Meeting Aunt Bailey's Train

My neighbor Lee said, "You cannot miss her.
She is wearing an oversized hat."
I have been recruited to pick up Aunt Bailey.
No description other than the hat.
Unfortunately when I arrive
Every woman getting off is headed for the Kentucky Derby.,

I wait until the crowd thins out
There are two women remaining.
One is Aunt Bailey
The other is her twin, Aunt Cailey
Who decided to surprise my neighbor, Lee.

Lee did not come himself
Because he had to clean the house
He had said “I’m glad Aunt Cailey is not coming.
She is the cleanliness nut.”
