Hoot Couture

Published on January 4th, 2024

Welcome to my refurbished tree.

Where once sat a hollow

Self love, now you see.

It didn’t come easy

Good things seldom do

But with work and compassion

The magic shone through.

Are you needing a paint brush?

A new deck of cards?

Or a pair of new shoes

To hop through some new yards?

Now, retails is therapy

But I warn you, my dears,

That grave overspending

Can set you back years.

So let’s keep it simple

Something useful and right

Like perhaps a new blanket

For those long, lonely nights.

We have coffee for days

When you need to feel bright.

We have lovely, warm candles

For when you’ve lost your light.

We have ointments and tinctures

If you’re feeling unwell

And some nice dapper hats

If you want to feel swell.

Or maybe it happens

That you don’t want to spend.

And you just need the ear

Of a trusting old friend.

Then please, do stop by,

I’m here most of the time

When I’m not somewhere flying

Or making up rhymes.

If there is a way

I can make you feel better

With maybe a chat

Or a warm, wooly sweater.

Then do make your way

To my place “Hoot Couture”

And with loving compassion

I’ll give you a tour.
