The Woman Who Wore A Hedge As A Hat

A woman once, wore a hedge for a hat and many eyelids, she did make bat.
People would point and laugh and shout, "Look at that woman, who let her out?" She took no notice and wore it away, not minding what the people did say.  "Look at that woman with a hedge on her head. You wouldn't catch me doing that, not even if dead." So the woman with the hat turned her head, and then she said, "I'm not dead, I'm quite alive. With this hedge on my head I simply thrive. Who says one cannot wear a hedge? For if I do, I won't fall from a ledge. It's something I choose to wear and for your comments, I do not care. I don't mock and laugh at that colourful dress, for it's your choice, I must confess. The book you hold comes from a tree, so you are wearing one don't you see? Do not mock others for a different way, as you may need a hedge someday. To shelter from the sky above, or to place in, an injured Dove." So she walked away and the hedge she put down, then out flew a Dove not white but brown. "Go free bird, you are better now", then she stepped back and took a small bow.
