In the picture it is late 1955 and you
Have on an admirable fake-leather hat
With earflaps which I thought
Fairly marked your status as
A seven year old and the oldest
Of us. At half-past three
I, having no say about my headgear,
Wear a shapeless wool thing
Made by an aunt who'd obviously
Accepted her sister's dare
To shut her eyes and knit a hat
While wearing boxing gloves.
