One day to me the 'Great Drive' said
"it's time to task! Just go ahead"
And to it's prompting I replied
"For which task's sake will I revive"

Great Drive merrily flew away
but a spark was put in me that day
so to the list of tasks I sought
a mission truly fun and well wrought

This very task did catch my eye
and then I took it with a sigh
for though I knew not what i'd do
my heart was racing through and though

So simple a concept and quite concise
yet oxymoronic with a touch of spice
I pondered awhile at how to achieve
the counterintuitive task before me

The it came, in a flash and a skip
inspiration, sensation and color and flip!
I felt almost a God creating myself
temporal, colorful, bad for my own health

So to HEB I ventured with speed
to get the food coloring I knew I would need

and in a process taking almost a day

we created a rainbow and froze it away


we marveled in beauty at it's lovely hues
then left it to melt in a puddle of goo
left on it's own, it decayed
and black colored water was all that remained



A lesson to gods of the future and past
if it's made to be flawed, don't hope it will last
