Head Coverings


Mum please, no, not the big straw hat
It’s itchy and it hurts
My auntie’s has a lacy front; I don’t want one like hers
My cousins all wear berets, back in fashion now you know
If you try to make me wear a beret,
I’ll tell you where you can go

Is it really so important?
Does Jesus really care?
I know it matters to the elders what we wear upon our hair.
When Paul wrote to the Corinthians, was it really his passion
That we’d all shop in John Lewis for the latest millinery fashion?
