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
