Rebellion!!!


To That Cover Of That Book!

It Was Time To Write This Out, So I Just Did!
***************************************

*** And The Morel Of This Tale Is ***

Do What You Have To Do!  

And Sod 'Em All…!
-----------------

Now this might seem self pitying,
But I assure you that's not so,
It's just its time for me to make a stand,
And place me and my hat on show!

As I'm sitting here typing,
I'm wearing a hat upon my head,
And therein lie's a story to be told,
And a tale that must be said!

Every winter out it comes,
This hat, or rather, hats of mine,
And on my head they go…
And should stay there all the time!

But people can be cruel,
And so I'm afraid I do rebel!
Won't wear the hat, not having that,
And my family give me hell!

But its' not about vanity, no sireee,
It's much, much more that that!
It's all about ignorant rude people…
Who laugh and scoff because I wear a hat!

You see, it's a bit like this,
When it's not yet cold for everyone...
To me it is, and so there I am…
Each chilly day with my hat on…

And therein lies my personal fight,
To look a fool, or to stay warm!
For if I look a fool, I'm ok,
But without the hat, then I come to harm!

A few years ago when out walking,
One night along the prom…
A man and his wife laughed into my face,
And made me want to run!

But I couldn't even run away,
Again, it's part of the tale,
But what happened that night set my future…
And the reason why each winter I ail…!

But from tonight, not so,
Rebellion has kicked in,
And from now on, I wear that hat,
And from now on, I win!!!!

I had two brain tumours,
Perched upon my poor old brain...
And to say I'm alive, wow, lucky me,
It's no wonder I'm insane!

So there I was a while back,
Two black eyes and a baldy head...
And it's very lucky I'm alive,
Cause I really should be dead!

They left me with a large hole in my head,
No plate, no protection, none at all,
Just skin to cover me brain…
So I can't bang it, and I can't fall!

Now because there's only skin…
Covering that part of me brain,
When the cold gets in...
The pain drives me totally insane!

But because of that night on the prom,
I mostly won't wear my hat,
Self conscious I am, and that is why,
I point blank refuse to do that!

So today I went out shopping,
No hat upon my head...
And therein lie's the reason why…
I'm sitting here in pain, and dread!

I felt so stupid really,
I wouldn't put it on my head,
So I sat in pain and discomfort,
And this is what my John said!

‘And what happens when the cold does harm?'
‘And what happens when you're dead?'
‘And what happens to you then?'
And what do you think ‘I' said?

I said; ‘John, it isn't easy'
‘When people laugh at me!'
‘And make me feel a fool!'
‘Because that's what happens you see!'

Well, what can I say, but he went mad,
And told me off a lot...
He said; ‘Catherine you better wear that hat!'
‘Or you will be ruddy shot!'

Then I sat and thought about it,
And decided, yes, he's right!
As long as I'm alive and well,
So what if I look a sight!

So armed and at the ready,
Tomorrow I'm off out!
And if anyone dares laugh at me…!
This is what I'm going to shout!

‘When you've had two brain tumours,'
‘And when you've a hole in your head,'
‘Then and only then can you laugh at me!'
‘I'd rather you laugh at me than I be dead!'

So remember that cover of that book!
And please, before you hurt…
Think about things, and take stock,
Don't hurt with what you blurt!

So for now roll on tomorrow,
For I'm going to rebel...!
And let anyone get in my way,
And I'll certainly give them hell!!!

Roll on my pain free days!

And Remember, The Morel Of This Tale Is...

Do What You Have To Do!  

And Sod 'Em All…!
