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!

That is truly one of the more obscure things to collect I've heard of. Gotta love it. :)
