Larry wore a top hat, that was as tall as tall could be. <br />Now when larry wore this hat, he was mistaken for a tree. <br />Now Larry held a secret, within this big black hat. <br />He did not want all to know, that his head was rather fat. <br />Larry went to London and bought a woollen scarf, <br />but everywhere that Larry went people began to laugh. <br />Larry had a deformity that had grown with him since birth, <br />not only was his head big, it had a very large girth. <br />Larry went to see a surgeon, whislt visiting London Town, <br />Who laid him on a bed and dressed him in a white gown. <br />The surgeon said to Larry, as he sharpened up his knife, <br />'I am going to perform an operation, that will save your life! <br />When Larry woke up, there was no head to recognise. <br />His hat was to big, and his head was of normal size. <br />Now Larry went home with his hat in his hand, <br />and no longer was he, the biggest head in the land.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/larry-had-a-hat/
