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 havenโ€™t been used millions of times. This one is perfect. Did you first find the image and then wrote the poem based on it? ๐Ÿ˜
