CHARLIE'S HAT--A Whimsical Ballad

Charlie's hat

Do you know where it's at?

Where did it go?

Is it bobbing in the middle of the ocean

in limbo?

Or smashed down on the curls

of a naughty bimbo?

Some people say a greedy Joe

bought it at auction.

Others say it must be in a museum somewhere--

common fate for a relic

of silent film fare.

Charlie's hat

Where did it go?

Do you know where it's at?

Why where it's always been at!

On the top of his head

and there will sit eternally, at that,

along with his winsome walk

and heartfelt smile.

So for all those feeling low and blue

beckon him doff it at you

for a great laugh or two...

or three...

or four...

or more!
