It and I
My favourite hat smelled of quiet sun,
but it is past tense now.
It pains me to say
that a gust caught it on the lake,
and it floated off to a nether realm.
It and I shall never go
picking strawberries in Wexford
nor blackberrying like Sylvia did.

Ha ha. I think she did her belt up too tight. She has probably got a strangulated hernia.

Old enough to know to hold on to my hat when I cross Tower Bridge! 😂

So does Mr M. He even has a proper Panama hat, which doesn’t really come from Panama. They’re from Equador, I think, although he bought his in Colombia… because we haven’t been to Equador. Yet.

👍 Well done, Mr M. I’ve got one of those squishy panamas that you can stuff into a bag and it springs back into shape.😂

That’s the one. If it doesn’t spring back, it’s not real.

I think this picture enhances the poem that’s already so loaded with beauty. What a fun poem. I hope you didn’t miss it too much after it flew away from you. Hats are funny that way. Thanks for sharing.

I don’t seem to be attached to hats, Selma. No pun intended, but there it is nevertheless.
