    Blue is the violet
    Green is the leek.
    I've ordered red roses:
    Arriving next week.
  • Oooo, for the roses,
    Aaah, for the leek.
    Are they for you?
    Would love a peek!
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Red are the roses,
    Blue is the sea;
    They're here and they're lovely
    And, yes, they're for me!
  • Today I saw
    Men in the cue
    Buying roses
    Every hue!
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue.
    The sky is grey
    It’s raining too.
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Roses are red
    The daffodil’s yellow
    Come watch the Ship’s Euro (vision)
    Relax and feel mellow
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Violets are blue
    I’ve killed off the thread😐
    So come over to Heaven
    Watch the Euro instead.
    (‘I’ll get me coat…)

    Red is the rose
    Grey is the granite.
    About that thread...
    I just don't understand it...
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Roses are red
    No matter their name
    Nenya and I
    We think the same.
  • The rose is blood red
    The peony is pink
    It's a bit of a lark
    At least that's what I think
  • AravisAravis Shipmate
    Roses are red
    Spring shoots are green
    I hope this seedling
    Produces a bean

    (or, even better, many beans)

    The roses are red
    Violets are blue
    We need some applause
    Come over and do (please, else it’s like performing into a void) 😁

  • Roses are red
    To that thread I will rush
    Knowing my luck
    I'll get caught in the crush
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    Ash Wednesday and Valentines
    What shall I do?
  • (Pinched from elsewhere)

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    Singular 'they'
    Predates singular 'you'
  • Roses are red
    Much to consider
    Ashes, hearts, and now,
    Even grammar.
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Roses are red
    Valentines make me blue
    Happy to be rhyming
    Back here with you
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Violets are blue
    Roses are red
    So happy to see
    Some new posts on this thread.

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    Ash Wednesday today
    No chocolate for you!
  • Roses are red
    Lilies are white
    Sweets in the morning
    Ashes at night?
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Blue is the violet
    Red is the chilli
    Stay up on Tuesday
    And stuff yourself silly.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Roses are red
    Pancakes are fluffy
    If I give too much up
    I'll start to feel huffy.
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Roses bloom bright
    set the garden afloat
    Pancakes tomorrow
    and Wednesday's GOAT.*

    * True story, sigh. Gift of half a goat from a friend down from Lagos, so Valentine's Day West African Goat Stew because I can't risk the freezer power going off. Hoping the ashed guests will be appreciative.
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Well…it’ll certainly take their minds off the preceding ashing!
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    The sunlight glows red
    from a runaway fire;
    I threw out the GOAT
    --two days without power.

    Roses still red though
    and violets deepest blue,
    penitential brown lentils
    will just have to do.*

    *Transformers and pylons burned down in a wildfire near our town so I was without electricity in a scorching heatwave for 43 hours. The freezer thawed out and I decided to discard the goat as unsafe. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    Oh the roses are red
    And the violets stay blue
    Like the gas from those lentils…

  • Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I lost track of time
    And so have none for you.
  • Roses are red
    The goat meat expired
    I'm sorry for you
    And the horror of fires.

    Here we have snow
    But not nearly enough
    I'm busy with laundry,
    And dishes, and stuff.

    Roses are red
    Dandelions are yellow

    Is this rhyme deceased
    Or just getting mellow?

  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Roses are red
    And in the UK
    We're celebrating
    Fathers' Day.
  • Labour is red,
    The Tories are blue.
    Even bluer today
    As their votes are so few.
  • Roses are red,
    I hate this holiday of the 4th of July
    Too many idiots letting illegal fireworks fly.

  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Roses are red
    Begonias too!
    My sewer is blocked.
    What to do?! What to do?!
  • SpikeSpike Ecclesiantics & MW Host, Admin Emeritus
    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    Oranges are orange
    London taxis are black
    Come to think of it, roses come in all sorts of colours
    And violets are more of a purple colour
    Chocolate is brown
    Unless it’s white chocolate
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Roses are red, chocolate is brown
    In the latest storm, old oaks have come down
    Violets are blue, snow melt sort of white
    Hoping the roof stays on overnight.

    My sewers are fine and kept out of sight
    I'm hoping that yours* are now working just right?

  • SmudgieSmudgie Shipmate
    While roses are red,
    Penguins are white and black.
    This is just an illusion:
    Smudgie's not really back ;)
  • DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
    *Yay* :mrgreen:
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Blue is the violet
    Green is the fern
    Let's all celebrate
    Smudgie's return!

    (Welcome back, great to see you!)
  • NicoleMRNicoleMR Shipmate
    Violets are blue,
    Roses are red.
    I'll try my hand
    At working this thread.
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    I've begonias so red,
    Tomatoes, cukes too!
    The flushes are flushing
    The washer works too!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Hello Smudgie! 🙂
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Roses are red, violets are blue,
    IT has gone down for me and for you;
    No Windows in sight, no overnight flight,
    But Microsoft swears it is all coming right.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Red is the rose
    Unaffected the Apple.
    In our house at least
    No issues to grapple.
  • Roses are red
    Some are, that's true,
    But I like them yellow
    And well scented, too.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    My roses are pink
    And blooming perfection.
    I never thought I'd see
    This thread's resurrection.
  • Rosie's gone red
    And Violet's turned blue.
    I must find my first aid
    So I know what to do.
  • MiffyMiffy Shipmate
    The thermostats read
    At 18 and I’m blue
    In my fleecy lined undies
    And hot bottle too.
