Under Her Umbrella

UNDER HER UMBRELLA Thank you for letting me share your umbrella. I am so grateful for this weather. It is the perfect opportunity For us to huddle close together. Without the rain, I would be too shy To say what I’ve always wanted to. Er …while I try to pluck up courage, Shall I carry your books for you? I suppose that what I am trying to say Is, when we grow up I would like to be The umbrella that always shelters you, If you want to share your life with me. But alas, my dream is short-lived. It was only a passing cloud. And, of course, I could never bring myself To say my thoughts out loud.
