Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Long ago, when I was young,
when days were bright and ballads sung,
I had a hat, both large and black,
with crown as tall as train’s smokestack.,
a floppy brim and feather proud,
the finest hat in my hippy crowd.
But times do change, those days are gone,
no hats I own, no hats I don.
