What hat will I wear today <br />To cover the bald spot and hide the gray <br />An obligation to human frailty <br /> <br />With smug but studied poise <br />Chin held high to hide the fidget <br />This charade willingly played <br /> <br />My shame and discomfort <br />For an inelegant noggin with <br />Scraggly growth sparsely strewn <br /> <br />Happy am I to be seen in <br />A dignified pose, a gentleman’s air <br />Topped with a Stetson in suede<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hat-6/
