Short Bowler Hat Poems

You played Judy Teen,
became our Top of the Pops,
strumming Spanish strings
in that epic bowler hat,
somehow breaking every code.

Renee Magritte,an enigma in a bowler hat
I wonder what we should make of thst
perhaps they are his alter ego
he never said so we'll never know...

 The Room Drains... 

The room drains to sepia.
A long distant relative
     in a bowler hat,
smoking a pipe;
     strokes your dog.
The one
on the couch....

Art monger

 Art monger appearance,
 A displayed suit, a tie and a Bowler hat,
 Needn't for a longer rope;
 Tied tie to a pole,
 Like Grandma marauding goat,
 Wondering like 'esiewu,' of gathering muse
 Who is to be slaughter next?
 A frightful goat fall to the ground throwing tantrum,
 Tie squeezed tighter in bandit suit
 Knocked together with thousand sack....

There’s a hungry tabby cat on a very fluffy mat
And a tiny little mouse in the self same house
Well he’s hiding from the cat underneath a bowler hat
So he’s got a lot of nous… he’s a clever little mouse

It’s a made-for-humans hat so it’s too big for a cat
Even bigger for the mouse who had brought it to this house
It’s a little odd is that; he’s a mouse in a hat
But it’s better to be that… than a mouse in a cat...

What kind of rainbow fish would you like to have for dinner?
I do not like fish, I told grandma.
I did not ask if you like them. 
Do you have a preference how they are served?

I do not want any of them. They are all horrible.
This one is wonderful, she assured me.
When he knocked on the door at eight 
I was impressed with his bowler hat and his rainbow fins.

What is your gorgeous grandma fixing us? He asked.
I had a feeling it was not going to be fish....

Felix was angry I could not blame the cat for that
                   Mr.Schrödinger should have opted for a bowler hat
                                    His experiment was a chiller
                                    Prussic acid was  a sly killer
                     Felix could not endure the cheekiest quantum rat

Old country house rich colored rugs hot wind
Gallopping hair whipped wildly at his cheeks
Solid double doors  top of stairway  top coat
Mantlepiece  photographs  in ornate frames 
Small  white  dog  head  between  its  paws
China  tea perfect lawn afternoon ceremony
Bowler hat  spirited distinguished  manner 
Smile of  welcome, something  in  his eyes
She trusted his good manners + hospitality
Embraced  the shadowy play of candlelight
Scent of peppermint musk vanilla surprise!...
