Legend has it,

a young Abraham Lincoln

once walked five miles

just to deliver a letter.

***

To keep it safe

he placed the letter

high beneath the crown

of his stovepipe hat.

***

When Abe finally

arrived, a tired Lincoln

removed his hat and

presented the letter.

***

The family was grateful,

but visibly dismayed to

find the letter covered with

sweat, oil, and coarse

black hair, that wreathed

the letter like a holiday

ribbon.

***

Not wanting to insult

Young Abraham, the

family nevertheless would

only accept the letter

using a pair of tongs.

***

The unflappable A. Lincoln

merely laughed.

***

And when the letter

was opened,

the family laughed, too,

***

For inside the envelope

was a shampoo sample.

Did William Shakespeare

write all of the

works attributed to him?

I say, No.

And here is my proof:

Have you ever

read the play,

Romeo & Juliet?

A man boards a

727 to Denver.

***

But for reasons he

cannot explain, he

immediately exits

the plane.

***

A few minutes later,

leaving the terminal,

the man hails a taxi,

telling the driver

to take him to

Denver, Colorado.

***

The man’s taxi

then takes off into

the air, crashing

into the

727 to Denver.

***

Question:

How did this man know the plane was going to crash?

I believe that

any-thing that can be

placed on one’s head

qualifies as a hat.

***

Example:

See this set of keys?

Now they are my hat.

***

An armadillo?

Now a hat.

***

A cracker-crack?

A shnoolzer-sack?

Or, even a clickety-clack?

Hat. Hat. Hat.

***

How about this beret?

Well, no, maybe not

the beret. 

But to be fair,

I don’t think

I can personally

pull it off.

***

Still how about this

old piece of dried-up

dog crap?

Now its my hat!

***

But you get it.
