building a better mousetrap

building a better mousetrap...
isn't that our goal?

so often when the storm rolls in the umbrellas come out
by the time the clouds blow away
the streets are littered with umbrellas
like urban tumble weeds these bent and broken umbrellas blow down the sidewalks, into the gutters, only to find themselves in the woods or the streams to be picked up by some tree-hugger on their day off
building a better umbrella

got this from treehugger.com
got the treehugger link from conversations with mud
