Inspired by The Rainbow Fairies written by Anonymous located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)
One Fairy left a pond to find the rainbow’s end and defied the world and said I truly will
Traveling on river of magic he followed and followed wiping his brow of tired and kept saying when when when
The Second Fairy said I will find the rainbow’s beginning and will hide it quick so none can see it flower again
Giggling high and low he galloped astride a magical stead who neighed with amusement wait till he find none hee hee haw haw
The Third Fairy said I will find the rainbow’s middle and consume it whole
Leaving in the middle of the night he gauged the beginning and the end but he found none to start or end to achieve his heinous goal
The Fourth Fairy said I will find the rainbow and watch watch watch it glow
Eyes wide with emotion he cried as the rainbow shimmered twinkled and touched his nose
The Fifth Fairy was grouchy and lazy and said you see one rainbow you seen them all and went to sleep
Waking up astart a band of color was tucking him in petting him and cheering him up until he smiled and changed his mind and said the rainbow
is the most beautiful thing in the world
The Sixth Fairy said I will calculate calculate until I configure the spot of beginning and end and slide down each color and have fun fun
fun
Looking confused he said I cannot find a spot to start or an end and said to the Seventh Fairy please help me do
The Seventh Fairy said I found the rainbow already and the end and beginning is the same
Speaking low he said disturb the rainbow not for it is ordained to covenant and none shall find the end or beginning for it is infinite
