Day 189 - Rainbow

 RAINBOW


Prompt - Rainbow : What is at the end of a rainbow?  Or, take a cue from kermit the Frog, and ask yourself, why are there so many songs about rainbows


Why do we chase after rainbows?

What’s to be found at the end?

What are those leprechauns hiding

At the base of a multi-hued bend?

The prism's a wonder to look at

A triumph of nature's own art

Sunshine is making a comeback

The rain has begun to depart

It feels like a time to get out of the house

To emerge from your waterproof shell

But isn't that freshness reward enough?

Why chase after treasure as well?

The rainbow has become a great emblem

One that's displayed with much Pride

For the efforts of doctors and nurses

Working on while their ministers lied

Roy G's always welcome to visit

But his gift's not material wealth

He's the colourful border between rain and sun

A smile-bearing bringer of health

There's a lot has been written of rainbows

Some say they're a mystical sign

But some think the gold will be there for them

Like picking a grape from a vine

Our simple joy in the colours  

Puts a beancounter's nose out of joint

If a rainbow makes you think 'money!'

You're missing the whole fekin point!
