Roses are red, violets are blue…

I just had to share these with somebody, cause I had great fun reciting them or saving them up for special ocassions… yeah right! The famous “rose are red, violets are blue” poem has been altered and twisted, and the results are amusing. Here goes…

Roses are red

Violets are blue,

I was born beautiful

What happened to you? (I THINK THIS IS A 10 ON THE MEAN SCALE)

 

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

When brains were given out

Where were you?  (I THINK THIS 9 ON THE MEAN SCALE)

 

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

The gasworks stink

And so do you. (When you’d want somebody to take a bath)

 

Roses are red,

Violets are blue

Orchids are expensive

Will dandelions do?

 

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I can row a boat

Canoe?

 

The roses have wilted,

The violets are dead,

Sugar is lumpy

And so is your head.

 

Finally….

 

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Most rhymes rhyme,

But this doesn’t.
