Sir Topp'im Hat

A brand new topper for the toff
Was revealed on Christmas Eve
And though deplorables may scoff
It's all because they preconceive
That anyone who wears a hat
Must look as though they drive a truck,
But, of rural fashion format,
A dandy does not give a fuck
Since men in redneck uniforms,
And the bigotry that they sell,
Are some of the required norms
For old confederates in hell.
No, a top hat is not as cheap
As what crackers and rappers wear
But under it...esteem will keep  
Right by the lofty thinking there,
About good deeds by stealth I've tried
And, where else would my halo hide?

I'd like top hats to make a comeback. Who's with me?
