Not His Hat

The kids have become enamored with Shel Silverstein poetry. Their favorite poem now is "Something Missing", which is accompanied by a drawing of a man wearing socks, shoes, a jacket, tie, and cap.

Something Missing

I remember I put on my socks,

I remember I put on my shoes.

I remember I put on my tie

That was painted

In beautiful purples and blues.

I remember I put on my coat,

To look perfectly grand at the dance,

Yet I feel there is something

I may have forgot --

What is it? What is it?...

(And then Nora said, "His hat?")
