The Man of Many Hats

a poem by Rowena Zahnrei

Joseph is the Man of Many Hats.

Jane is the Girl of Many Faces.

Joseph says to Jane: “I like your spats.”

Jane tells Joe, “I like your sparkling laces.”

That’s the way their love began,

But their love couldn’t last.

Joseph had a restless mind,

And Jane could not relax.

Every day they’d shout and scream

And throw things out the door.

One day their son said he wouldn’t take it anymore.

Kyle took his father’s hats

And learned his mother’s faces.

Now he travels ‘round the world

To multicolored places.

Every day is something fresh

And each place somewhere new,

For he’s the Man of Many Hats -

- and Many Faces too.
