Hat On Backwards

The hat that I am wearing has no frontward brim
The brim goes all the way around but that is not a sin
A fishing hat can carry flies and wack em if need be
But its no good for baseball, its brimless and you can't see
When sun gets in your eyes and you're catching flies, agree?

But that is not the question and hats are not for ball
A cap is proper headwear or don't wear one at all
Brim has got to be there stuck out front to shade the glare
Or turned around behind your head or pointed anywhere.

The catcher has to flip the flap to slip the mask in place
Firmly forward protective-like in position on his face.
The pitcher has to slap his cap, and wipe his arm with sweat,
Adjust the fitness several times, and it just is not right yet.

But what worries me about the cap is reversal of the brim
By everyone wearing them in malls and school and gym.
On the street you see them backwards on girls as well as boys
Is the backwards cap a fashion or is it done 'cause it annoys?
Is forward cap apparel wear a sign of proper birth?
Or is backhat positioning more than what its worth?

Its comfortable to wear it back if neck burn is the reason
Backhat posture diverts the rain off your back in season
When you're playing video games to avoid distracted visions
Turn back the brim again and protect pinball decisions

And when riding on a bike with brim stuck in your face
You have to turn it backwards just to see or just in case
A passing motorist with backhat on veers into your lane
And accidentally glares himself and causes you the pain
And don't forget the brim is flying out there in the wind
So wear it backwards naturally; avoid losing it again.

Backhat has no rules and is practically comfort driven
and is mostly one hundred percent operator given
The wearing public has no clue as to really why its done
Backhat wearing connaisseurs are just out there having fun
Backhat wear is cool and in and now and casual whim
Mostly worn by people who do not care to see the brim
