Under the Rainbow

’twas during a full moon I met a medieval knight He said things once were different Rainbows used to shine at night But God was getting older And he liked a little nap Yet he kept being woken So he called that Merlin chap Merlin said I’ve got a spell I’ll cast it if I may My spell will make sure that we get Our rainbows in the day So, you can doze serenely, God the ancient wizard said If you want a siesta You can be a sleepyhead God thought how things used to go He’d been a restless soul For when the moon passed through the bow The angels all yelled ‘GOAL!!’

As I said to Jan, the rainbow was so perfect and ‘solid’ it was kinda crying out for a football. Chuffed that you liked it. Terry

Thanks Rico. The notion of a rainbow being a celestial goal just came to me. Cheers Rico. Terry

Hi Jan. Saw a rainbow today, a perfect half circle, and it just looked like something you’d kick a ball through or over (Nurse is on her way). Thanks. Terry
