Oh I Miss My Hat

Oh where’s my hat?
It flew off! drat!
Put it on my head
Next I did dread
It’s off in the air
My 20 dollar sphere
Oh it’s pretty rough
My hair’s sticking up
My hat, the perfect accessory 
For a misplaced comb, occasionally 
I’d easily put it on and run 
Out of my home I’d quickly go
Oh I miss my hat
Do you know that?
But now I use a hood instead
Because it’s securely connect-ed
So there’s no risk of it flying away
Like my hat did on that windy day

a very apt poem for a stormy day like we have at the moment, I have a lovely warm hat that pulls right down over my head, keeps me toasty and no fear of losing it:-) hugs jan xx
