Ratty Tat Tat Hat
.
My favorite hat hangs on a hook by our old back door
It belongs to my honey, but it is a favorite of mine
It isn’t pretty, in fact it’s a sight to deplore!
It’s my hubby’s ball cap, and he thinks it is divine!
In spite of the splotches, and the dirt and grime
It’s a favorite of mine, because it’s a part of who he is
He wears it while he’s working, until evening begins
Running errands, doing chores, or playing with the kids
He wears it to cover places, where his hair has gotten thin
I'd like to toss it in the trash, but that old hat still brings a grin!
How could I hope to disregard this hat that honors him?
Looking like the boy I used to know
With blue twinkling eyes, beneath the brim
When he hangs it up, with a sweet “hello”
My love is home, and my good fortune...Oh yes!... I know…
