An Old Fear Remembered

It's the rusting hulk of the tin-man,
     The lion sans bravado,
          That aging straw scarecrow,
That he now knows.
     And often he wonders,
          "Where were the Rainbows...
               The Magical Mystery Shows...
                    (Hot Cider Sunsets?)
                         That only love knows?"
