The Mad Hatter

He's wearing
His hat in the house.
The felt one
That looks like an Aussie hat.

It isn't cold in here.
But now he wears a hat always,
Not just when going out.
And he doesn't take it off.

Now he's showing me a ball cap,
And another one.
Is he asking me to choose one?
I pick the Aussie hat.
He puts one of the ball caps on
On top of the Aussie hat.

We are getting ready to go.
We walk out the door.
He isn't wearing any of the hats.
"Do you want a hat?" I ask.
"Sure," he says.

And we repeat the process all over again.
I pick a hat.
He puts it on.
We walk out the door.
He's wearing a different hat.
Or two hats.
Or no hat at all.
Where are his glasses?

It's like Groundhog Day
Around here
Every day.
