A Patio Umbrella
A patio umbrella
That provides a patch of shade
Makes a backyard much more pleasant,
Worth each penny that you paid.
For the glaring sun can scorch you
Or make sweat run down your face
But beneath your canvas rooflet,
There's a cool and comfy place.
Someone sure deserves a medal,
Plus some royalties in pay,
For outwitting what Apollo
Thinks it's fun to send our way.
