The Right Hat.

The introduction page to my novel, "Mary and Daniel."

The Right Hat.

I saw you looking at me.

So, I thought.

Didn't realize you were looking way beyond me.

Made a fool of myself, thinking You would ever love me.

That court Jester's hat seems to slip on me to easy.

Maybe I'll buy a Cowboy hat, a GUS.

Fit it tight so it won't come off in the Wyoming winds.

Then look for a pretty woman, somewhere between, say, 

Casper and Buffalo.

That's where, I've heard a lot of Wyoming's pretty women live.

Yup, that's what I'll do someday.

Nope, I'll do it today.

She might be waiting for me.

Don't want to keep a lady waiting.
