Shall I wear my new wrinkles
to the funeral on Tuesday
or should I wear the old ones
passed down from my ancestors
in the eighteenth century?
But
why not?
I have even got ostrich feathers
to put in my black hat
but then I should try to be inconspicuous
should't I?
Can I, that's the question!

Coming from a family where one of my parents was born in the late 18thC I am old fashioned, one wore hats to funerals...I cut the rim of the felt hat uneven as it was too wide :)
