These two chapters are separate but drawn together by the names they chose with the key word "Razzmatazz." They are just 2 of over 30,000 official chapters of the Red Hat Society. |

The Meaning of RazZmaTazZ Look it up in the dictionary Look it up under the R's Is it a "liqueur made from raspberry"? Is it the name of far off stars? One entry says "ebullient" One says "intended to dazzle" Confusion causes argument Enough to cause the brain to frazzle Another book says a "flashy show" "Intended to bewilder and confuse" Ladies of the RazZmaTazZ chapter know It's the "showiness" we bemuse. In purple and red we show the "lively spirit" Out in public with vigor and "vim" With all the laughter, can't you hear it Joyouse elation under the red hatted brim? Line three claims "double talk" With Red Hat dis-organization About our age, we do not squawk Not during a high tea celebration. Do these highlighted words in print Describe our RazZmaTazZ chapter? Listen carefully, I'll give you a hint Hear the elation, joy and purr. Do we dazzle and are we flashy? Is our spirit joyous and unrestrained? Sometimes we are downright sassy Being true Red Hatters from the Society famed. by Barbara Witzell, Queen RazZ RazZmaTazZ chapter, San Diego, CA (used with permission of the author) |
