it was gray, which I like, and wet

which I don’t.  the umbrella was

a sail.  it pulled me along

and I thought of Mary Poppins and Grabbit Rabbit,

although I hadn’t thought of them in years.

all because it was a rainy day,

and very good for thinking.

(Most everyone knows Mary Poppins, but who remembers Grabbit Rabbit? Let me know if  you’ve heard of him…)
