Thanks, John. Does anyone (besides me) remember a phenomena known as “straw hat day”? This was, if my recollection serves me correctly, a Monday several weeks following Labor Day after which it was no longer acceptable to wear a straw hat. Or was “straw hat day” was a day in May or June, only after which it was acceptable to wear a straw hat? I guess that my memory is not serving me so well. In any event, I do think that all men switched over from felt to straw (and visa versa) at pretty much the same time. A terrific poem. Thanks, John.

And he was quite pleased when golf hats became fashion as he could wear these on the weekend. ;) And, if you were bald, as my father, you surely wore a hat.
