Rainbow, you are so arrogant. You're like the celebrity cameo of natural phenomena. You make an appearance for a millisecond -- and then disappear for god knows how long. I snapped this picture of you last week in Hawaii -- and yes, your radiance was captivating. Then what? Gone. And to do what exactly? Rest up? Rainbow, even waterfalls have the dignity to stay around seasonally. You? You’re over it. Thanks for the breathtaking image, really, but I won’t hold my breath ‘til our next encounter. And btw, has anyone ever scored a pot of gold at the end of one of your luminescent bows? I’ve yet to read the headline, “Rainbow Sets Scuba Diver’s Family Up for Life.” For all the good press you get, how about a bullion every now and then you unbenevolent prick. You taunt me with your beauty. Now, off with you. The next millennium's right around the corner. Better get some sleep.

Oh Gregg, it's because they don't linger or overstay their welcome that makes rainbows so beloved. They are like the most welcome of nature's houseguests..they stay long enough to make a great impression and then leave before the awkward clearing of the throat or checking of the watch.
