Rainbows

A rainbow is always a wonderful sight Made out of nothing but dewdrops and light So it's mostly just water, yet it won't fall It can hang there on nothing, nothing at all And large or little, it's always an arc That comes and goes and leaves not a mark, It curves as it reaches across the dark sky Spreading beautiful colours that dazzle the eye When we're soaked and shivering after the storm A rainbow looks lovely and dry and warm. It's hard to approach from the front or the rear If you reach out to touch it, it might disappear. At one end of a rainbow (so we are told) The Leprechauns buried a large pot of gold. For those who dug holes and found nothing below, Don't be discouraged, we want you to know, You dug the wrong end or you found the wrong rainbow.
