The Popinjay's Secret

Strutting popinjay,

wears many hats,

to be precise:

                     she displays

                     a new hat

                      each day,

                      as her trophy before the world.

                      Each with a new color,

                      and a scent different.

                      Her crude wide smirk

                      conceals

                                     a secret

                     each one is pinched

                                                     from her lover of the day.
