The Umbrella Cover Museum
Start collecting objects;
Set 'em up so folks can see 'em
And you'll find, before you know it,
You've established a museum.
I stopped in to such a place -
Umbrella covers on display -
Off of Portland, Maine (Peaks Island),
Which I visited today.
The curator and its founder
(An accordion player, too!)
Found a little niche and perfect place
To do what she can do.
She's accumulated cases
From umbrellas 'round the world,
Where these various umbrellas lived
Until they were unfurled.
So she showed me her collection
And before the tour was through,
Her accordion appeared; we sang.
Well, this was something new!
When you travel, you encounter
Folks and places you might find
May be more than merely different -
They might really blow your mind!
