sylvia spencer - Larry had a Hat

Larry wore a top hat, that was as tall as tall could be.
Now when larry wore this hat, he was mistaken for a tree.
Now Larry held a secret, within this big black hat.
He did not want all to know, that his head was rather fat.
Larry went to London and bought a woollen scarf,
but everywhere that Larry went people began to laugh.
Larry had a deformity that had grown with him since birth,
not only was his head big, it had a very large girth.
Larry went to see a surgeon, whislt visiting London Town,
Who laid him on a bed and dressed him in a white gown.
The surgeon said to Larry, as he sharpened up his knife,
'I am going to perform an operation, that will save your life!
When Larry woke up, there was no head to recognise.
His hat was to big, and his head was of normal size.
Now Larry went home with his hat in his hand,
and no longer was he, the biggest head in the land.
