What's An Umbrella For

What's an umbrella for?
It shelters us from rain
that can be colder 
than a chilly wind!
Grasp on its handle,
if it goes up, pull it down!
Many umbrellas are fragile,
made in China or not...
it may be floating as a kite,
if you don't hold it tight!


Umbrella have different shapes
and they come in different colors:
yellow as sunflowers or red as grapes;
one of those shades is actually ours!


What's an umbrella for?
To keep us dry until we get home,
or to keep the hot sun away
as on a summer's scorching day!
We've bought two of them 
and we hang them on the back door!


Umbrellas reflect our unique style,
men like them dark,
women like them light;
whatever is your preference,
they perform well on rainy days...
have one handy and be dry for a mile!
