There's a lovely poem called "Warning" by Jenny Joseph which is the basis of the Red Hat Society attitude. Or maybe we should say "hattitude". It says, in part,
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And ends with the words-
But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people that know me are not too shocked and surprised When I am old and start to wear purple. |
