Have you ever thought that
Somewhere
Over the rainbow
There's another rainbow
And another rainbow
And another
And...
Sometimes I think that maybe, just maybe,
People should stop jumping over rainbows
And spend more time looking at the color of the grass
On both sides.

The author's comments:
"Someone once told the me the grass was much greener on the other side." This poem is a mix of the opening from an old Nick show quoted above and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Basically, the grass isn't always greener over the rainbow. Also, it can be interpreted to mean look before you leap but...since I never do that I don't want to send out advice that I myself cannot follow.
