Jason was a happy child
always smiling and laughing
he was fascinated by rainbows
became ecstatic when they appeared
rainbows were in every drawing he made
not just in the sky
people were outlined in rainbow colors
every object had a rainbow lining
his parents thought it was all in his imagination
he was a happy kid in school
then his teachers started to notice his rainbows
Jason was not considered normal
child psychologists were brought in
lots of talking and subtle testing
many rainbow drawings produced
without finding anything unusual in his brain
Jason still loved rainbows
totally ignoring the teasing from other kids
he kept smiling and radiating happiness
he was a little rainbow of joy
more tests with eye specialists
he had perfect vision
no structural abnormalities in his eyes
no explanation for his rainbowism
more test with filtered lenses
until Jason started to cry
somebody stole all the rainbows he blurted
his parents declared victory
he was forced to wear those filtered lenses
Jason became sad lonely and withdrawn
unable to endure the suffering his mother destroyed the glasses
Jason and his rainbows lived happily ever after
