Lived twelve little girls
In two straight line.
They left the house at half-past nine
In two straight lines, in rain or shine.
The smallest one was Madeline."

There's a bad hat. Or is it a cute hat being attacked by multi-colored fur? Hard to say.

Whether embellished with a ribbon or flower, it's still a bad hat.

With flowers and feathers, it still doesn't fit on a human head.

Good hat for an infant. Bad hat for everyone else.
