Women Wearing Spectacular Hats In Art History -The Toast

oh you do go on
tell me what else you like about my hat

so many places to wear the hat
so many enemies to show up

begone
can you not see the size and magnificence of our hats
how dare a man with a hat that size speak to us

no, Marguerite
now that it is I who wears the largest hat
it is I who must go first
and you who must go behind

oh don’t look like that
you know that sometimes when I find a hat big enough I like to take my shirt off and pull apart a ball of twine
don’t act so surprised

we don’t blame you for looking
but you have to stop doing it, just the same

who is this hatless person
why is he talking to us like we’re the same kind of people

the hat was dyed in the blood of other, lesser hats

you’re welcome

i don’t need to smile with a hat like this

this hat could be bigger
its fine i guess
its giant and gold and thats fine
but it could still be bigger

darling just leave me alone with the hat

suddenly the thought came to her
another hat
“Then I’ll be happy,” she thought
“Then I’ll be happy at last”

another layer
another layer of scarves for the hat
madam, we can make it no bigger
the hat will not hold
I SAY IT WILL HOLD

i love your hat
oh, thanks awfully
i like your
headband
no, it’s a hat
this is a hat too
sure
i guess we could call it that
if you want to
