The Pot of Gold at the End of a Rainbow


Recently I was in Kauai and for the first time observed a rainbow. This occurred in the early morning as I greeted sunrise through my hotel window. I am not sure whether it is a legend, or simply an "old wives tale", but there is supposed to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I am not sure whether a pot of gold existed here of not, but the rainbow ends on the "dragon's head". The small mountain in the foreground is actually the head of a dragon that was made famous in the song: "Puff the Magic Dragon" which was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary in 1962 and based on a 1959 poem by Leonard Lipton.
Every time I am in Hawaii from now on, I will always remember "Puff the Magic Dragon". Maybe I will teach the song to my grandson.
Live well and prosper,
Dennis
