"A CAP FOR JEANNE
For you, my impish little Jeannie
I send a gay Italian beannie.
Its [sic] blue and grey and pert and snappy.
I hope it fits, and makes you happy.
This very day.
Wear it while you ride your bike.
Wear it when you take a hike.
Wear it atop that sprightly head.
Wear it 'til you're called for bed.
And you obey.
When you've tired of it, put it away
And maybe on another day
You'll put it on and skip out fast
To meet your Daddy, home at last.
Home to stay."
