The Utility Pole at the End of the Rainbow

 

Rain, dreary rain all day, falling in sheets

(Or maybe in comforters and counterpanes)

The whole world shakes to the thunder’s wild beats

And water ponds in the green fields and lanes

 

But then at dusk the clouds part just right

Allowing the sun to make the sky fire-red

And in the east, a rainbow all alight

But behind a utility pole (it must be said)

 

The convention is gold at a rainbow’s end

But electricity too is a useful friend
