Conditions for wearing  beret:

Warm ears and chilly crown.

No perspiration in arm pit where baguette goes.

Under other arm where is carried

flattened director´s chair,

sweat may appear.

But feet, flat enough for espadrillos.

Talent for side-of-mouth whistling.

A slight bow-leggedness, a swaying gait.

Big hands, hairy fingers.

Curiosity, awareness, ability for switft conclusions.

Sense of smelling. Actually everything that enables us

the very day we find a beret in a drawer,

without effort figure out who previously

has been wearing this beret.
