If Hats Are Like People

Ask me 'bout hats, and all I could say is,

That's a SnapBack.

That's a beanie.

And that's a baseball cap.

If we're talking 'bout people, I regret to say that just like hats I don't know them all. 

Someone might call him a fedora, 

and I'd say 'where?'

But change the hat and he'll get noticed.

It seems some are born with a hat that will never come off. 

But perhaps that's because their head's too big, or simply, they never tried to take it off. 

Just think about the kid in class who wears the jester hat, he's the class clown, everybody knows that. 

But what if he took it off? 

Who would he be?

Or what about the big athlete that seems to always cover his eyes with his 'star' hat. 

Nock it off till it hits the ground. 

Now who is he?

As he looks for his hat will he look at different opportunities,

Or cling to the old. 

If hats are like people and different sides of ourselves, 

maybe one day we'll switch,

without worrying who it is we're wearing it for.
