The Hat Poem by Eddie Roa

The Hat



What hat will I wear today
To cover the bald spot and hide the gray
An obligation to human frailty

With smug but studied poise
Chin held high to hide the fidget
This charade willingly played

My shame and discomfort
For an inelegant noggin with
Scraggly growth sparsely strewn

Happy am I to be seen in
A dignified pose, a gentleman’s air
Topped with a Stetson in suede

Wearing a hat would tell you where the boundary of the face and pate is. Just kidding. I hope you enjoyed the poem
