Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations. Some week, I may offer a nifty prize from our online store. (Why do I always say "our" online store, as if I'm more than one person?). But, this week, I don't feel like it.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...

This week's is a really "Punchy" one as it comes straight from my Mr. Punch's Pocket Book from 1860.
My second is a fish that's yellow;
And my whole by a swell fella
Is used as an umbrella.
And the answer is...
Are you ready for it?
A pear-a-sole (parasol).
Oh, for the fun of 1860! Congratulations to Darcy and Gene for their clever answers and thanks to all of you who attempted this difficult riddle. Come back next Friday for another, and easier, of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

A banana does fold open like an umbrella but has nothing to do with fish. I just don't know.
You're close.
The above was meant for Darcy. Sam, you're not.

You don't have to follow it...you can just smell it.
