I wear a lot of hats,
Sometimes too many.
I have hats that don’t fit me anymore,
And sometimes it’s hard to stop wearing them.
But your new hats are smarter,
And you should wear them with confidence,
They’re grown up hats
And you wear them well!
But hang on to some silly hats,
Because you can never underestimate the power of silliness
Always keep a few hats with you.
A warm one to comfort you,
Or just to keep you warm -
Or protect you from an incoming storm.
If you forget it (or it is warm)
Then don an invisible hat,
They are free, and on some occasions,
More effective than the real thing.
This is due to their mystical nature
Wear your wizard hat at work,
Everyone at work is in awe of the wizard
Work is for wizards!
On some occasions it can be safe to approach without a hat
This is a suitable situation in certain family members. And good friends
I see you have been wearing your naughty hat quite regularly and
Naughtiness, like silliness is good,
But must be prescribed in small doses!
