Welcome to my
House of Hats!
(what city?)  guess.
(where y'at?)

Many styles have
I to choose.
But they only come
in shades of blue.

Try this one.
Here, it's interesting.
It makes you laugh
and helps you sing.

This one holds
fond memories...
try it on,
it sets you free.

This one?
It is almost black.
It stinks of victim.
Give that one back.

That one?
It is not quite teal...
a soothing fit,
it helps you heal.

Not THAT one,
for it is my last.
I keep it safe
behind the glass.

THAT one is for
my own head.
I'll wear it once,
when I am dead.

THAT holds dread
of future's past.
If worn alive,
you'll feel, but lack.

Serenity~
You're just the greatest at that stuff !
What you can do with hats is just amazing !
I can just see you in a wide-brimmed straw hat ...
sunning on the beaches of the Florida Keys !

I need a vacation BADLY .... ever been to the Keys ?????
Ahhhhhh .... sipping Coca~Cola on the waterfront
at Mallory Square at sunset !
To die for !
Well, maybe not die ...
but close !

I liked your sassy little hats !
Love ya, gal !
