A to Z 2026: I: “I put my hat…” by Samuel Johnson

“I put my hat…” by Samuel Johnson

 Bonus: 

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Summary: He puts on a hat.

Commentary: It's so short, I'll just paste the whole thing in:

I put my hat upon my head

And walked into the Strand,

And there I met another man

Whose hat was in his hand.

Are we supposed to slant rhyme head with man? Man with hand? I dunno. 8, 7, 8, 6? 8, 6, 8, 6 if you pronounced "walked" right.

Weird little poem. 2/5
