So I found a website where they have a contest to write a short story on a random topic that can only be 100 words long. The topic was "horse racing" and I thought it would be fun to try.
Somehow I ended up with a poem. Don't ask me how. I have dark, traumatic memories of being forced to write poetry in school. And I remember that I wasn't very good at it.
So consider yourself forewarned.
Here's my 100 word poem.
**************
She was going to the races
And she needed a hat.
And that was that.
But not just any hat.
A fabulous hat.
Not one tall, or wide, or phat.
An Audrey Hepburn hat.
A hat dripping with feathers and trim
Shaped like a pancake
Bright red roses sewn to the brim.
Or stark in black, white, and gray
With sharp crisp lines
Cresting her head like ocean spray
A hat with moxie
A hat with style
A hat to hide
The loneliness for awhile.
She was going to the races.
She would need a hat.
And that was that.

Are you saying you would like a huge Grandmother hat, or are you looking for the huge My Fair Lady kind of thing?

Dude it was story...er poem. It's not about me.
Although judging by the sites I looked at, you can pretty much put anything on your head and call it good at the races.
Although I will always have a soft spot for My Fair Lady hats. 8)
