All these standard umbrellas of black,
so boring it makes me wanna yak.
Occasionally there’s red or gray
still, those don’t make my day.
Those colors get the thumbs down.
But seriously, i want an umbrella of BROWN.
in search of a brown umbrella
Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31
Nice poem … where are you looking? I found a steel-blue umbrella that matches my mobile phone and my PDA! What a nerd! I love it though! 🙂 I’ll bet if you keep your eyes open, you can find a brown umbrella. How much are you willing to spend?
i was at IKEA the other day. They sell umbrellas for $3. The IKEA umbrella has alternating colors of blue and yellow. It stands out alot. For three bucks you could buy like 10 umbrellas. You could walk with four umbrellas open at the same time to get ultimate coverage from the rain.
so if you spin the umbrella, it will be green.

go to a department store [like m.field’s or bloomingdale’s”> for interesting color choices. you’ll pay a little more, but you’ll get a longer-lasting and higher-quality ‘brella. and it won’t turn inside out in the wind! just don’t poke anyone’s eyes out.
I have one of those specially designed brellies that is wind-resistant. It hasn’t failed me yet and I have used it on Chicago’s windiest corner: Adams & Wabash
Adams and Wabash is the windiest corner in chicago? are you sure? =============== some hotel website says: Pay a visit to the windiest intersection in Chicago at Oak Street and Michigan Avenue to see if the reputation is well deserved. =============== Tom Skilling of WGN says “Jackson and Wabash, the windiest part of the city,” says a mailman. “The windiest corner in Chicago is Jackson and Wabash,” says John Smith, newspaper vendor. “I would go along with that, yes,” Joyce Wiberg, docent for the Chicago Architecture Foundation says. “A combination of the windiest and the most unusual is Jackson and Wabash,” John Zils, Sears Tower architect says. To be fair, there are lots of windy corners. Michigan and Oak. Columbus and Randolph. The IBM and Equitable Plazas. And they change as our skyline changes.
I was blown ACROSS the street at Wacker & Jackson last year [and injured”>, so I contend that intersection is the windiest, by the Sears Tower, but Mr. Skilling himself said that historically the corner of Adams & Wabash is the windiest. I seent it on T.V. so it must be true
I want a yellow umbrella. but I fear people may laugh at me.
