A Wonderful Pet

An umbrella is a wonderful pet Specially designed to get real wet Skies are gray? --- It won't complain Au contraire: It'll even hope for rain Yet go outside with it when it's hot and sunny That's seen as quite normal, not strange or funny And when it's neither a day of bright sun or hard rain It's content to stay inside without going insane You don't have to feed it or take it for a walk There's no cleaning up after it or listening to it squaik So why aren't umbrellas more popular as pets? They're every bit as un-cuddly as geese or egrets
