The Magic Hat
I found a hat upon the ground,
It sparkled bright and spun around.
I placed it gently on my head,
And suddenly, I flew instead!
I soared above the trees so high,
I waved hello to birds that fly.
A cloud rolled by and gave a cheer,
“Nice hat!” it said, “You're welcome here!”
I danced with stars and touched the moon,
Then floated down that afternoon.
Now when I walk, I always check—
You never know what hats you'll get!
