The Hat That Flew Away

I bought a pink woolly hat but It must have flown away I saw it once on the ground but didn't pick it up and then it must have flown away It was gone...

I can see it now flying above the chimney tops lifted by the cool breeze I liked that hat but it must have flown away for days I looked for it I wore it once or twice before it flew away…. over the trees.. into the countryside I needed that hat my head was cold the days were cold until I found my hat that must have flown away in my suitcase pocket tucked away behind a hot water bottle too late I was going home to the sunshine but I love my pink hat that didn't fly away
