The umbrella is bigger than the girl
and with every gust of wind
she risks flying away
going off to some wonderworld
where her umbrella might stab some vampire
or a grasshopper will steal a hat.
All kinds of adventures can open
for one so plucky as she
in checkered galoshes
and bright yellow cap.
The planet is there for her plucking
should she choose.
There is huge potential
for that sweet young thing
struggling mightily to stay dry
on this dark and detestable rainy day.
