PLOT SUMMARY: It’s almost time for the annual poetry recital and fancy hat parade, and the executive committee of the Poetry Recital and Fancy Hat Society is busily planning the event. Amid differences of opinion and unexpected maladies, the four ladies have put together a splendid program of poems from years gone by, as well as some very beautiful hats. Both the differences of opinion and the maladies escalate until the whole thing verges on hilarious hostility… with a surprise ending!
