LINDBERGH'S HAT

The depression dragged on didn't it but
wasn't it splendid to be wearing lavender
and white whilst the Newport crowd sailed
in -- the little princes cursed the Germans,
hoorah for America & most of us agreed
those were the good times wasn't it very
clever and rare to be rich when the rest
of the world was suffering so - o! the Gold
Coast was casual, I got a little little drunk
there was a rumor Cole Porter was going
to come i didn't see him but Dorothy Parker
played croquet, you danced with Benchley,
and o how we laughed when Harpo chased
the children across the lawn spilling long-
ways into the Sound

Later we walked lazy along the beach all the way out to the point

You can see Connecticut from here you said

You wore Lindbergh's hat he was furious you didn't care
