Today on the National Day Calendar, we tip our hats in honor of National Felt Hat Day. Because I need to know exactly what it is I am celebrating, I did some online research on the subject of felt. This online research is consequential because today is also National Online Learning Day. In my constant quest for efficiency, learning online and felt hat day met, and had a baby named On Line Felt Hat Learning Day.
An Ode
When I think of felt, which rarely happens, I think of Halloween.
Costumes I’ve fashioned in my past, from Deviled Egg to Evil Queen
Each started with a stop at the arts and crafts supply store
Vague ideas in my mind – felt is what I was shopping for
Whether wool or acrylic, fibers matted, condensed, and pressed
Natural fibers mixed and interlocked appear to make the best
Felt is manipulated into shapes with hot water and steam
That’s all I care to share on felt hats…so you matriculate it seems
If you’re still slogging through this online lesson – I’m sorry, I confess
I hadn’t planned on any graduates, so I end this jumbled mess
