Harriet Hailey Harrison

Poem © 2015 Em Lynas

Harriet Hailey Harrison,
Loved fantastic hats.
Some were shaped like daisies,
And some were shaped like bats.
​Some looked just like animals,
She’d once seen in the zoo.
Lions, monkeys, hippos.
Giraffes, and kangaroos.
One day she thought it would be fun,
To wear a sailing ship.
She tied the hat under her chin,
And fastened it with clips.
A gale blew fast,
A gale blew strong,
As she went out to play.
The wind caught Harriet Hailey
And sailed her far away.
