In days of old, a hat did hold
A charm and grace, a tale untold.
Upon the head, it sat with pride,
A symbol of style, a dashing stride.

A gentleman's hat, so debonair,
Topped with feathers or ribbon fair.
A touch of class, a dash of flair,
A hat that spoke of savoir faire.

For ladies fair, a hat adorned,
With flowers, ribbons and lace adorned.
A fashion statement, a work of art,
A hat to captivate every heart.

In times gone past, a hat was worn,
To shield from sun or bracing morn.
A protective shield, a shield of shade,
A hat to don on every escapade.

Oh, hats of old, we long to see,
The elegance and grace you used to be.
Though fashion changes, trends may sway,
Your timeless charm will never fade away.

I love the way that my grandfather, Gordon Walker, is looking at my nanna, Rita At the wedding of my Aunty & Uncle in 1965 |
So let us raise our hats up high,
To bygone days and days gone by.
For in those hats, a story told,
Of fashion style, and stories old.
