Best Day Ever Poem by Jim Yerman

I ran across this hat yesterday…
on a shelf in a store is where I spied it…
and after thinking about it for a moment…I knew I had to buy it.

It's a nondescript black baseball cap with a message I found clever
It merely reads across the front…
these three words…
best day ever.

I found it while we were with old friends having a truly wonderful day.
It really was the best day ever…so I bought it right away.

Then I remembered the day before…
We were with some different friends…who
we laughed and had a wonderful time with…
It was the best day ever too.

And what about the day before that?
Near as I could tell…it was also filled with wonder…
It was the best day ever as well.

And what about tomorrow?
We're having lunch with another friend whom Deborah and I adore.
It will no doubt be the best day ever…
just like the day before…

And so I wonder…could each day be the best day ever?
Better than this day…better than that?
If that's the case then I'm so glad…
for I'll be wearing the right hat.
