Give a human an Umberella in a gale, it is amusing.

Logic flies out of the window when challenged by an unseen might, like trying to open an Umberella in a gale that wants to fight. Oh you see the frenzied behaviour trying with all of their might, then it flips inverted yet the victim is determined to fight. With delft action they flip it all back, then just as they thought they had won it's back inverted again. These victims will not give in they fight to live again, only this time the gale defies them shreds their umberella to a meer skeleton.

I picture a silent movie featuring Charlie Chaplin out for an afternoon when a storm comes up and he tries to open his umbrella in the gale. Funny stuff.

I can feel the person's determination in his brave fight with the umbrella. Perhaps, your poem applies to all of life's difficulties that frustrate us. But we bravely fight on.
