Poem: Trying on Clothes

Trying on Clothes
I tried on the farmer's hat, 
Didn't fit… 
A little too small - just a bit 
Too floppy. 
Couldn't get used to it, 
Took it off. 
I tried on the dancer's shoes, 
A little too loose. 
Not the kind you could use 
for walkin'. 
Didn't feel right in 'em, 
Kicked 'em off. 

I tried on the summer sun, 
Felt good. 
Nice and warm - knew it would. 
Tried the grass beneath bare feet, 
Felt neat. 
Finally, finally felt well dressed, 
Nature's clothes fit me best.
