POEMS ABOUT THE HAT LADIES
Given our high profile, we have become the object of some delightful poetry:
HAT LADY
She struts her stuff,
Like a beautifully plumed bird.
Her head's adornment is outfitted
With feathers, fur, bows, and sparkly things.
It’s tipped to the side
And dips seductively over one eye
As she peers out from under,
At her many admirers.
She knows she's looking good.
"Wear that hat girlfriend!"
I want to be a hat lady one day...
When I grow up.

What A Hat Lady Will Do
When told where she is needed to go
A hat lady will smile and promise to show
She is always on time and dressed for the date
Heaven forbid, she is never late
She enlightens guests on garden and home
And will hold your cigar and allow you to roam*
So a tip of a hat and a big thanks to you
You make it so easy to do what we do!
