The head in question.ODE TO MIKE’S HEAD
Mike is tall.
Very
Very
Tall
His head is big
So Very
Very
Big.
While some have
Their heads
In the clouds
Mike’s head is
Above the clouds
He is a head
Above the Rest
He is
Ahead of the game
Because up there
Above the clouds
Mike can see
What others cannot
He sees beyond what is
He sees what is not yet
Beyond the horizon
He sees into
The Possible
James Bosley.So many hats
This head has worn
Hats that come with names –
Artist editor photographer founder presenter impresario
etc etc
but the hat to which this ode I dedicate
is tallest hat
of all the rest
It has to be
This is the hat called – Visionary.
