The Umbrella

The Umbrella By Elton Camp For a device that is so essential, it would be expected That over the years it would’ve been finally perfected But to get most umbrellas open often takes many tries Punch the button as you will, but it doesn’t easily arise And why do manufacturers produce umbrellas so small? They keep rain off the top of your head, but that is all When you finally get inside and into a place that’s dry It seems not to want to stay closed no matter how you try After only a few uses, there is little reason to have doubt One or more sharp ribs will dangerously be sticking out Although about the umbrella there is very much bad to say You won’t fuss long because a wind gust will blow it away
