Excerpt
What hats!
There were fezzes and face veils,
tiaras and tam-o-shanters.
There were sombreros and skullcaps,
pillboxes and panamas.
There were beanies with propellers.
There were derbies with green glitter
that glowed in the dark…
R.R. began to zigzag in and out among the hats…
He tried on the fez and twirled his mustache.
He tried on the derby
and struck a devil-may-care pose.
He tried on the sombrero
and did a little jig.
The pom poms
hit his nose.
