【明报专讯】Not a fabulous royal sceptre (权杖),
I'm just a humble helper
Or at most a real protector.
Not as little as a toothpick,
I'm used by old people as a walking stick
Because I'm not easy to break.
Open me and turn me upside down if you wish.
I resemble a telescope's dish (接收盘)
Which protects you from water with no fish.
Some of my kind look compact (小巧的),
But are still useful no matter the streets were jam-packed
With passengers or slack.
When you hear the pitter-patter, you know that is a bad omen (预兆),
And you need to click the button,
Or else you'll surely be wet in a sudden.
