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!
