For the next two weeks I will post poems, both my own and other to show my true enjoyment of this "special" time of year. Today I start with a classic.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you.
Where would the world be without this poem? Think of the countless Valentines day cards that would have been empty but for its simple little lines. And think of the thousands more which would been blank if they could not have written a parody of this rhyme. It boggles the mind! Below are some of my favorite parodies.
Roses are blue.
Violets are red.
If you agree,
You've got rocks in your head.
Violets are blue
Roses are pink.
Put on your shoes,
Your feet really stink.
Red r red,
Violets r blue
I luv chocolate
More than u!!
Roses r red
Violets r blue,
Sugar is sweet
And so r you...
The roses have wilted,
The violets r dead,
The sugar bowls empty
And my wrists r stained red... (sorry, you squeamish people.)
Fall in a bucket
Fall in a tub
Fall anywhere
But don't fall in love
Do you love me
Do you not
You told me once
But i forgot
