00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.450 align:middle line:84%
I was once having
trouble writing poems.

00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:06.270 align:middle line:84%
This happens more frequently
than I would like to admit.

00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:09.160 align:middle line:84%
I couldn't get anything
going was the problem.

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.580 align:middle line:84%
And what I got going I
didn't like, because I

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:12.723 align:middle line:90%
didn't want it to be going.

00:00:12.723 --> 00:00:13.890 align:middle line:90%
It wasn't that it was scary.

00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:14.973 align:middle line:90%
That would have been fine.

00:00:14.973 --> 00:00:16.410 align:middle line:90%
It was that it was dull.

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:19.740 align:middle line:84%
And there's no sin
worse than that.

00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:21.820 align:middle line:90%
So I asked friends for help.

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:23.670 align:middle line:90%
What else can you do?

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:25.080 align:middle line:90%
My friends always give me help.

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:25.830 align:middle line:90%
They're marvelous.

00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:27.900 align:middle line:90%
It's sometimes horrible ideas.

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:29.470 align:middle line:90%
But at least it's something.

00:00:29.470 --> 00:00:33.750 align:middle line:84%
And the idea this time
was think of someone

00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:35.550 align:middle line:84%
and address the
poem to that person.

00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:38.760 align:middle line:84%
Because I was getting done
because I was getting distant.

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:42.150 align:middle line:84%
So if I really spoke
to a particular person,

00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:44.010 align:middle line:90%
how to do it?

00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:45.070 align:middle line:90%
I tried.

00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:46.590 align:middle line:90%
I really worked hard at it.

00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:48.228 align:middle line:90%
But I couldn't get anyone.

00:00:48.228 --> 00:00:50.520 align:middle line:84%
That I could think of that
I wanted to write a poem to.

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.478 align:middle line:84%
There were people I wanted
to write letters to.

00:00:52.478 --> 00:00:54.990 align:middle line:84%
But nothing really that I
wanted to write a poem to.

00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:56.910 align:middle line:90%
Then they drift off.

00:00:56.910 --> 00:00:59.790 align:middle line:84%
So I decided that I had
to settle for second best.

00:00:59.790 --> 00:01:02.040 align:middle line:90%
I had a hat.

00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:04.379 align:middle line:84%
I decided to address
the poem to the hat.

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:07.650 align:middle line:90%


00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
You make two.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.260 align:middle line:84%
It was a Mexican hat with
a fairly narrow brim,

00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:14.580 align:middle line:90%
flat top, white.

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:18.180 align:middle line:90%


00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:20.548 align:middle line:84%
And it sat there and
it didn't move away.

00:01:20.548 --> 00:01:21.340 align:middle line:90%
And I looked at it.

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:22.140 align:middle line:90%
It was there.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:24.570 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to make
this the last one.

00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:28.420 align:middle line:90%
It's called On Buying A Hat.

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:31.570 align:middle line:84%
I bought a straw hat
convinced I wanted it.

00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:35.320 align:middle line:84%
I bought a small hat
to make it like me.

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:39.070 align:middle line:84%
How wide the world is
riding there on top?

00:01:39.070 --> 00:01:43.240 align:middle line:84%
How little like me
remind me little hat?

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:45.030 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:01:45.030 --> 00:02:03.000 align:middle line:90%
