If I told you hats make me weary,

Would you understand?

But then I imagine a velvet top hat and think,

"Wouldn't that be grand?"

    I find hats quite troublesome to fit, but love the idea of the pictured top hat.

    Just takes the right kind of hat I suppose! Wonderfully fun, Rachel!

    I would love an occasion to wear a top hat. I always thought it looked incredibly smashing on Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.

    Simple and awesome. My daughter made a green velvet top hat to match the Mad Hatter so I will send her this as she will love it.

  • Makes me think of Nuke singing on the bus in "Bull Durham" about wooly instead of weary women, lol.

    I love this! And I love that image. I never find any images on Unsplash that haven’t been used millions of times. This one is perfect. Did you first find the image and then wrote the poem based on it? 😁
