I've heard somewhere over the rainbow,
Way way up high,
There's another land so beautiful
Holding court in the sky.
I heard at the rainbow's end
There's a pot of gold to be had.
Untold riches
To please any lass or lad.
I heard a rainbow was a promise,
I heard rainbows mean harmony,
I heard rainbows end the torrents
That fall on top of me,
But if I wish on a rainbow
The torrents don't stop,
My world keeps spinning out of control,
Keeps on running amok.
You can't fly over a rainbow
Or jump or soar or vault,
So belief in a better place over there
Is definitely brought to a halt.
And there's no gold at the end of the beautiful arc
It was a trick, a ploy, a con,
Because rainbows are in fact circles
That just go on and on.
So the thing that we all marvel at,
The beauty that captivates and awes
Has let me down; it isn't
What it's cracked up to be at all.

Awwww babe!! It's an infinite dream to hold onto some hope!! You can't touch a rainbow either but have you ever seen a double rainbow??
@smellyfingers well hello there stranger! Haha no I haven't and don't worry it's only because there's a rainbow out my window, I'm a happy chappy π
Good evening young "working" lady!! Well I nearly peed myself when I saw a double rainbow then I told someone who had seen a double, then I told another, then another ect! Turns out it's not that rare ππ still pretty cool to see tho π
@smellyfingers I have, but the most spectacular rainbow I've seen was when I was about 10. I opened the front door one morning and there was a complete ring rainbow! Incredible. π
(stupid send button!! Sorry!) a complete circle rainbow?? Blimey that would freak me out a little!! Was it a huge rainbow?
@smellyfingers I remember it very bright and large. I've googled it and apparently the sun is in the middle although I don't remember that. Seen in on you-tube but I remember it brighter (probably memory playing tricks - it was a long time ago). π
@smellyfingers @TheCodsPollocks @Fly10 so clearly I'm the odd one out with this double rainbow jobby eh? And a ring rainbow?! Madness!!
@misslittleDHP haha thanks sweetie and for the repost ππ are you in the big standard single rainbow gang?
@Delilah I sure am....gutted that it's a complete circle...how ever will I find the pot of gold now?πππ
@Delilah actually I DO remember seeing a double one...but the 2nd one was sooooo faint...thought my eyes were playing me up...lolβΊβΊ
@Delilah ha ha ha...honestly though the 2nd one was so very faint it hardly counts, so I can still keep the pot of gold??π
