A Hug for your Head
A woolly hat is a hug for your head.
It’s a glove for your skull,
fluffy wallpaper for your brain.
A woolly hat is the opposite of snow.
It’s a summer’s glow,
a campfire’s flame.
A woolly hat is a chili pepper for hair.
It’s a roast dinner with a bobble,
a hot chocolate in Spain.
A woolly hat is a duvet on a hike.
It’s a warm bath on your bike,
a friend in the rain.
It’s a glove for your skull,
fluffy wallpaper for your brain.
A woolly hat is the opposite of snow.
It’s a summer’s glow,
a campfire’s flame.
A woolly hat is a chili pepper for hair.
It’s a roast dinner with a bobble,
a hot chocolate in Spain.
A woolly hat is a duvet on a hike.
It’s a warm bath on your bike,
a friend in the rain.
