Some More Claude Theberge


Mystique





The Umbrella is set aside to dry throughout the Day
Which means that sometime soon I can unwind to roam and Play
After a rewarding Breakfast of Fresh Fish and sweet Cream
That will no doubt bring on the urge to close my Eyes and Dream

Of echoed footsteps lost in the mist of lamp lit cobbled Streets
Under swirling, sheened Umbrellas whose second purpose is to defeat
The discovery or the identities of the Men Who Live Under Umbrellas and Hats
Who move through the Night shadowed City trailing swirling Cloaks and long Cravats

Gathering random Flowers for anonymous forgotten Ladies to sell the next Day
Under dark low hanging clouds while their Mysterious Benefactors are away
Only to make themselves ready once more after the Sun has long gone down
When Hats will be donned, Umbrellas unfurled and scarves wrapped round and round
I will mount my Handsome Human's shoulder, making a contented purring sound

That may be swallowed up by Cloaks and Hats deflecting the starless Night's chill rain
While The Men Who Live Under Umbrellas and Hats decide what Treasures to attain
Throughout the beginning and waning hours of their Midnight promenade
Faithfully following their Noble Quest while maintaining a Spectral facade
