Half Naked Without A Hat

One hot summer day At the carnival I saw the teenage boy Who had a big crush On my beautiful sister. He stole a kiss from her But he got no luck Before he could land his lips on hers Her eyes were poked By the rim of his hat He ended with a black eye. When I saw him again He is a full grown man He sported a shaved head And wears a hat Every single day. He has all kinds of baseball caps Collects all tennis hats He got all the colors That goes with his shirts. He has fedora hats He wears them with his suits But what he loves the most Are his cowboy hats. One time a whirlwind came It blew his hat off head He tried to catch it But he cannot outrun the wind He went straight To the nearby store And bought a replacement. On a cold weather He wears beanie hats But I noticed They were in badly shaped He used them Until they disintegrated. He reserves his favorite cowboy hats During summer time As a roof From the Mother Sun And stormy summer. Sometimes he spoils His Black Stallion He puts grains On the poor cowboy hat He bends And the horse will eat To its heart's content. But he doesn't mind No, not at all Despite he felt half naked Without a hat Inside the church Specially on the most important day of his life When he married My beautiful sister.
