Rainbow Riches

If you saw a rainbow and you clambered up one side And then whizzed down the other like it was a massive slide I have to say it all sounds like a lot of fun to me But when you got back down again, I wonder where you'd be I thought that I would find out, and so I gave it a try The top of that there curve was really high up in the sky But when I slid back down again, the breeze was really cold I smacked my toe against a pot: that pot was painted gold I have to say I had no use for some old painted pot Or those old coins all painted gold of which there were a lot I climbed back up that rainbow even though my toe was bent Then hurtled down to find my landlord waiting for his rent I told him I was broke until my motor car was sold He said but that’s a rainbow... did you find no crock of gold But then the rainbow faded and my guts were in a knot And I was so dumbfounded, all that I could say was, ‘What?’
