The Lady with the Flowered Hat

Marianna Terrance

Wears a most stupendous hat.

People stop and stare at her

No matter where she’s at.

All along the brim of it

Bloom flowers in clay pots.

And more than just a few are there

There’s really rather lots.

And when she has been indoors

Or sitting in the shade,

The flowers all begin to wilt

And seem as though they’ll fade.

But then she goes and walks about

In sunshine and in rain.

The flowers all get what they need

And start to bloom again.
