Umbrella

Oh brolly, why do you despise me so Just when I need you, when the wind and rain, do blow You turn me upside down, when you turn inside out Always well behaved Indoors but once you hear me shout You know your just what I needed, to stay high and dry Once the rain and wind do come, you decide to fly Now you are inside out with broken spines all bent Your protective cover is tattered and torn, the rain will not relent The reason that I purchased you, was to keep me dry and warm Come on brolly , do your job, gve me shelter from the storm
