The Uprising

I can not tell you how many times my
Sun Protection Umbrella would fly up into my face. I had a little blue one that just would not stay during a tough storm.
One day I was able to get it under control, on to see it hit me in the face on my college campus.
I was hurt and did not even notice it until I got home. I was looking in the mirror and realized that the umbrella had left a slash on my face from my nose to my chin.
I had to do a presentation in class the next day in front a room full of my pears looking like a cat had attacked me!
It was something that I could never forget just because I was unable to hide such an event!
If there was ever a time that I did wish I had that umbrella, it was that morning! But that's what had got me into trouble in the first place.
