by a Panama hat
it was there in the window
and that was that
Now it shields my head
from the midsummer heat
as I stroll on the sunny
side of the street
The name of the hat is misleading
I was told by the man at the store
since Panama’s name
gets the bulk of the fame
but they’re woven in Ecuador
As the globe gets increasingly warmer
I’m entranced with my stylish chapeau
a Panama hat
is a fine thermostat
so I’ll wear it wherever I go
