Laila asked for a poem about unicorns ON a rainbow. I have employed a small amount of poetic licence.
There’s a rainbow in the sky
Far away, far away,
You can see it in the distance
Any sunny rainy day
It’s so beautiful and shining
Way up high, way up high,
But we’ll never see a rainbow
Very close. I’ll tell you why.
Well a scientist will say
That it’s light, only light,
That’s been split in different colours
That is why it shines so bright
But this simple explanation
Isn’t true, isn’t true,
There’s a secret about rainbows
And I’m sharing it with you
What’s a rainbow really made of?
Unicorns, unicorns,
With their shining manes and tails
And their iridescent horns
As so joyfully they gallop
Flying free, flying free
So fast they look like streaks
Across to sky to you and me
Now a scientist will tell you
That I’m wrong, that I’m wrong
But while science is important
Unicorns just don’t belong
To the world of facts and theories
Shining bright, shining bright
A rainbow can be unicorns
As well as being light.
