Butterflies, Rainbows and Unicorns

Wings of golden yellow, orange and red and black Fluttered past my lazy body as I laid upon my back I watched it flitter about flowers in splendid bloom As Spring turned into Summer on the 21st day of June Then it landed on a flower, whose likes I'd never seen Multi-colored petals from a stalk of aquamarine And when it flew away, a rainbow trailed behind Its colors shining so brightly it nearly made me blind I got up to chase the butterfly following the rainbow trail Across the flowered meadow into a strange new vale When I stopped to catch my breath and took a look around A beautiful white unicorn is the sight I found She drank from a sparkling stream of water pure and clear She startled just a little bit as I started to get near I reached out my hand, to stroke her silken mane When I woke up in the meadow from the drops of falling rain

~~Reading Rainbow Theme Song~~ Butterfly in the sky ** I can go twice as high ** Take a look ** It's in a book ** A Reading Rainbow** I can go anywhere ** Friends to know ** And ways to grow ** A Reading Rainbow** I can be anything ** Take a look ** It's in a book ** A Reading Rainbow ** A Reading Rainbow**

And just what had you been smoking prior to this write? I never figured you for butterflies or unicorns. Mike
