Roses are red, violets are blue...

Seems like a good day to write little not love poems. Please add one. Here's mine for today.

Roses are red, violets are blue
Vaccinate your lover
and don't get the measles.


Please add one.

    Roses are red
    Gender is performative
    Mass market romance
    Is heteronormative.
  • Roses are gray.
    Violets are also gray.
    I can't see colors,
    But I still think you're great.

    they die too soon

    Violets are blue
    Roses are red
    Feeling so loved
    From what you've just said.

    :tongue: :wink:

    Orchids are black.
    When I'm with you
    I watch my back.

    Roses are red.
    Violets are blue.
    I'm starting to wish,
    I'd never met you.
  • Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I didn't get sex
    and neither did you.

    My parents said
    Don't have kids
    The planets dead.
  • FirenzeFirenze Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Roses have greenfly
    Mildew and spot.
    Love is a thing
    I’d rather not.
  • As an aside, I tripped over this earlier looking something else up, and found that the earliest reference to something similar dates back to Edmund Spenser in 1590, the original was published in a nursery rhyme book from 1784, so a long and venerable history.
  • Roses are red,
    Ties do bind.
    Tuesday is fat
    And so's your behind!

    Violets are blue,
    Roses are red,
    And I've paid for these flowers
    To get you to bed.

    And the reply,

    I've been past the garage.
    I've seen what they cost.
    If you think that'll win me,
    You can go and get lost.
  • Roses are pretty
    Violets are nice
    We know what you are
    Now I just need your price
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    I like roses red
    But you've brought cactus green.
    It's the mankiest present
    That I've ever seen.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Cactus have spines,
    They sting and they prick.
    Face up to it, mate,
    You're a bit of a dick.
  • Roses are red
    Memes can be danky
    This is the first time I've read
    the word "manky"

    An education.

    All that I know
    I learned on the Ship

    Manhattans are moister
    As long as you love me
    The world is your oyster

    Roses and oysters
    If you’re after romance.
    Beads and cloisters
    Strictly nae chance.
  • Roses are red,
    Lilies are white.
    The mere thought of you
    Gives me a fright!

    Aphrodisiac food.
    You can ply me with them,
    I'm still not in the mood.

    Carnations are redder
    I'll find me a girl

    They thrive in spring showers.
    I long for someone
    To give me some flowers.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Violets are blue
    Roses are red.
    Buying me flowers
    Won't get me to bed.
  • finelinefineline Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Roses are red,
    Daffodils yella;

    Flowers have pollen
    Branches have pith
    It all depends whom
    You stay in bed with
  • EnochEnoch Shipmate
    Roses and violets
    May be the flowers that you pick.
    But you won't get a chick,
    If you're just a dick.

    Under the bed
    Go the undies, they say,
    That's how you find out
    Under-bed fluff is grey.

    Roses are red,
    Green is the sea,
    If you don't clean your bedroom
    You'll never have me.
