we cover a bald or hairy head
with every conceivable material
from metal to heavy thread
some hats are the best way
to show power
and make underlings cower
some people say
hats show the world who we are
whether normal or bizarre
still others say
it’s the best way to shield your head
from the sun which can turn it red
hats are always going to be around
they’re very much part of society
and there’ll always be a variety
so hats off to hats in history
may they always be
important and silly!
