Orcas have begun to wear dead salmon as hats, a trend not seen since the 80s.

Killer whales are lately found
wearing hats in Puget Sound.
Large and shiny, curled or flat,
salmon is the favored hat.
Orcas envy every friend
who can sport this fashion trend.
So what if salmon goes to waste?
There are other kinds of “taste.”
Soon, from Maine to South Majorca,
we’ll see hats on every orca.
