Two Old Women: Book Review

One day, I was browsing the bookshelves of my local library looking for something interesting to read.

My Yellow Baseball Cap


My yellow baseball cap

With the bumblebee on the front

Is my favorite baseball cap

To wear while I’m out and about.

It’s nice to wear my cap

With my light brown pants

Along with a green shirt;

With the car’s windows rolled down.


My yellow baseball cap

With the bumblebee on the front

Is my favorite baseball cap

But it’s also my only one.
