I bought a hat today <br />Ready for the Siberian wind <br />They’ve been promising for a week. <br />I hate winter <br />And the cold <br />And the grey <br />And the fake Christmas jollity. <br />Humbug. <br /> <br />My hat is orange, <br />Bright orange, <br />A juicy persimmon <br />On a tree that’s lost its leaves. <br /> <br />The city women wrap up warm <br />In their fashionable <br />Grey and black <br />But I have dreams of summer <br />In my wonderful <br />Orange hat.<br /><br />Sallie Howson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-hat-4/
