The classic song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” has been loved by people for years because of its message of hope. We’ve turned this famous song into a simple, five-line limerick. Our goal is to share a new take on its main idea: the wish to escape a dull reality for a world full of color and new possibilities.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow Limerick
Past the rainbow is where she'd be free
From a world of gray misery.
A bluebird took wing,
Which made her heart sing,
"Oh, if only that bluebird were me!"
This limerick focuses on the song’s powerful feeling of hope and the desire to find a better future. It highlights the bluebird as a symbol of the freedom the girl so badly wants. We hope this short limerick offers a fresh way to appreciate the song’s lasting message about searching for a place where dreams really do come true.
