CORRECTIONS ON FIOE'S UMBRELLA STORY

 Here are some of my poems old poems that you might or might not have heard before:

My first poem (1954)   mess-up                                 (With today's correction of today's mess)

         It beckoned me to follow

         Wherever it may go

         But what it was that called to me

         Was not for me to know

                      _____

         Under a green umbrella

         Just we too--

         Laughing and giggling

         Me and you--

                     _________

                                    

         You're my brother Billy,

         I'm you're sister Jay

         And we're under a green umbrella

         'Cause it's a rainy day

 

         The rain goes "splash"

         On the umbrella top

         Which protects us from

         Each tiny drop 

         But still we each

         Are a little wet

        'Cause two under an umbrella

         Is mighty hard to get

 One day I saw a heart break

I watched it shatter and fall

Then I knew that heartbreaks hurt

Even if very small

Pieces of the broken heart

Upon the ground did lie

To be trampled on by other folk

As they are walking by

But still we each

Are a little wet

'Cause two under an umbrella

Is mighty hard to get!
