On a busy rainy evening,
people walked around,
crossing the puddles on the street,
umbrellas in their hands and
warmth of home in their minds.
One umbrella travelling West,
fell in love with another, travelling East.
'Unite us, Oh dear God!'
prayed the umbrella, hoping for
a Happy Ever After.
The wind blew fierce
The rain grew heavy
The umbrellas flew
away from the clutches,
to come together on the rainy street.
