Pardon Me Ma'Am

Pardon me Ma’am, I immediately thought to say.
But do you know there is an ostrich on your head?
Is this etiquette correct? And his face is all gray.
I hate to tell you, but this ostrich is dead.

Ha! (snicker) (snicker) I love this. I am picturing some of those outlandish hats the Black ladies wear to church and the hats some women create for Kentucky Derby day. Fun!
