Caps
'Tis purty easy to size up a feller by the cap he wears,
By glancin' at the message that on his cap he shares.
Boldy emblazoned is a logo bright and clear,
Revealin' his dubious tastes and facts about his career!
A farmer is apt to wear a cap advertisin' "John Deere" dealers.
A football fan's cap proudly extols his "Pittsburgh Steelers."
The equestrian might sport a cap readin', "Equine Feed & Tack."
Can't figure teenagers, since they wear their caps front to back!
Old vets are easy to spot wearin' their caps with pride.
Patches show where they served with various units worldwide.
A feller with a ponderous paunch is wont to savor his ale,
Since his cap advertises "Old Milwaukee Pale!"
"Have You Found Jesus", might be seen as an anomaly,
On a preacher's cap broadcasting his mini-homily!
Some fellers wear caps toutin' their favorite baseball team.
Strawberry-nosed guys might wear a cap advertisin' "Jim Beam!"
"Call Before You Dig", is probably a phone repair technician.
"Sparky" on a cap might imply the feller is an electrician.
'Tis purty sure you can size up a feller by the cap he's wearin',
By glancin' at the not so subtle message that on his cap he's sharin'!
