ODE TO MY WHITE HAT

by RMC(SW/AW) James L. Dombrauskas

You've been with me for Ten long years,
We've shared some laughter and some tears.
Through thick and thin, Always on call,
In summer, winter, spring and fall.
You've gone with me to various places,
And brought a smile to many faces.
You're recognized throughout the world,
By men and women, boys and girls.
But now it's time for us to part,
And this I say straight from my heart,
"Fair winds and following seas to you,
Rest in peace down in the ocean blue."
