Loss and Gain

Recap

Winter
Is when you loose stuff
Hats and gloves
Stuffed in jacket pockets
Back in the 1960s
Uncle Freddy
A true eccentric
Sported a beret
Worn then only if you were
French, gay or an artist
I have several
Broad one from Basque country
Too treasured to risk
Bought an NFL wool cap
For a buck
Not Pats
Wrong logo
Philadelphia Eagles
Ragged about it
New York bullies
Your team sucks
Probably
How would I know
Still upset when it went missing
After several winning seasons
Whipping it out
Warm and snug against the cold
Need mittens on a string
Like when I was a kid
Today New Year's
On the way to the gym
Astrid found it
Crushed down in the back seat
Damn you screwed up my poem
Write a new ending
Cap and me
Lost and found
