Roses Are Red

140511c

You’re probably thinking that the next line is, “Violets are blue.”  But guess again.  Don’t they look more purple?  If that so perhaps the poem should go:

Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
Sugar is sweet,
So is maple syruple.

Or maybe we could go more traditional, but with a rearrangement:

Violets are blue,
Roses are red,
Would somebody please,
Plug the hole in my head.

What lines would you write?
