This umbrella thing is not cool I feel like such a silly fool since I'm on my way to the pool It's not a rule It's not a rule It's purple satin edged with pearls Cute when carried by little girls but too fancy for us squirrels Yes, it furls Yes, it furls It doesn't work well with my shape I might stay drier with a cape when over my tail it would drape Like a serape Like a serape I like that you feed me and yet... you cause me to worry and fret I really don't mind getting wet I'm not a pet I'm not a pet I don't want to nag or complain but let me scurry in the rain A squirrel with an umbrella... It's so insane It's so insane

Ya had to see the silly picture to appreciate the write, but TPS removed all the pics I used in the last year when I held a PM. So what's the point of paying? Cest la vie...thanks my warrior.
