"The rain falls equally upon the rich and poor -- but the rich can afford umbrellas."

Googling hints that this might be misremembered Ogden Nash, by the way. And also: justsumbrella.com is available for registration!

Ah, the things we do to avoid working...

As I recall it, the poem went:

The rain, it falleth down alike
Upon the just and unjust fella
But mostly on the just, because
The unjust steals the just's umbrella.

I think it can be found in THE POCKET BOOK OF HUMOROUS VERSE, but I seem to have misplaced my copy at the moment so I can't confirm that.
