The Hat

The hat was quite a stunner With a huge and fancy brim. An older woman tried it on, It seemed like on a whim. The salesgirl was encouraging, Declaring it unique And certainly, the wearer Would possess her own mystique. The tryer-on-er caught my eye, Like secrets we were swapping, And said out loud, “It’s just the thing I’d wear to go out shopping.” Was that a joke? I didn’t know But I contained my yucks Because the salesgirl mentioned That it cost 400 bucks. This happened in a gift shop In a gallery of art. I left before that buyer And her hat were forced to part.
