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?

  1. I soon as I read, “Don’t they look more purple?” I started thinking, “Roses are red, violets are purple, I love you more that myprle syrple.” Such silliness. 🙂

  2. I read the headline and was actually running the first variation through my head before I scrolled down far enough to read it. Great minds, and all that. :up:

    • Yes, but you have other flora there that we lack. I love to see the violets growing out on our lawn.

      • They have Birds of Paradise, and those big awesome trees. Well, we have big awesome trees too, but they have different kinds of big, awesome trees. :dance: Both places are beautiful (Florida & Michigan). :tiphat:
