100% Scared of Umbrellas

With their pointy protrusions
threatening my eyeballs
at every turn,
I'm not fooled
by the makers of musicals
and their insistence that umbrellas are
the harbingers of happiness
when I know
that a spoonful of their medicine
goes down in the most frightful way
and I'm still
screaming in the rain
just screaming in the rain...
