Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Race of the Hats

The Kentucky Derby began
In 1875 and
Became over the long time span
A show place of pageantry grand.
Much more than just a short horse race,
It is a ladies' fashion show,
And which hat worn should take first place.
Inquiring minds just have to know.
It is the one day of the year
For fashion hats for all to see,
And more and more such hats appear,
Thanks to being shown on T.V.

Quite a heady phenomenon,
The Kentucky Derby - hats on!
