It’s an elaborate spectacle
an elegant sight to see,
transforming each head it sits upon
into that of a stunning beauty.

It comes in a rainbow of colors
from bright yellow to deep chocolate brown,
giving the appearance of royalty
to those wearing this glorious crown.

It’s fancy, it's frilly, it's feathery,
as flamboyant as it can be,
The Sunday-Going-To-Meeting Hat
adorning the Queen of the black family.
