Roses Are Red

The original  "Roses are red" limerick started off as something you could use to whisper sweet nothings and goes like this:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.

There are many variations that are used as insults. Take this one as an example:

The roses are wilted,
The violets are dead,
The sugar bowl is empty,
And so is your head.

Then, there are some that have words and are out there for us to send around when email forwards run out:

Roses are grey,
Violets are grey,
Puppies are cute,
And color-blind too.

And then there are ones that express irritation:

Roses are thorny,
Violets aren't red,
Please get that stupid poem,
Out of my head.

I read a poem from Aundrea Persley that's made up of Roses are red variations:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Love never crossed my mind,
Until the day I met you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When I'm with you,
My heart feels brand new.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When I have nothing to look forward to,
I still have you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When thinking of love,
It's like thinking of you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'll save my last dance,
Only to dance with you.

Here's a version with for a heart-broken young girl:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
But my roses are black,
And his love was untrue.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I gave you my heart,
you snapped it in two.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
On this day,
I'm lost without you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
You love her,
But i love you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Oh, I forgot...
i want someone new.

Here are more variations that I read:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Tonight I will be dreaming,
Of only you!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
God made me pretty,
But what happend to you?

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
A monkey like you,
Belongs in a zoo.
But dont worry,
I'll be by your side,
Outside the cage,
Laughing at you.

Roses are red,
Peaches are white,
i'll see you,
Saturday night.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Someone like you,
Belongs in a zoo,
Dont be mad,
Dont be blue,
Frankenstein was ugly too.

If Roses were black,
And violets were brown,
My love for you,
Would never be found,
But roses are red,
And violets are blue,
All i want to say is,
I love you!

Roses are red,
Some willows weep,
Please leave your message,
After the beep.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
What can I say,
I'm in love with you,
So take my hand,
And come with me,
so hopfully we'll be,
For eternity!
