THE HATBAND

Arthur Macy

My hatband goes around my hat, And while there's nothing strange in that, It seems just like a lazy man Who leaves off where he first began.

But then this fact is always true, The band does what it ought to do, And is more useful than the man, Because it does the best it can.
