Roses are red, But also different colors, One isn't even like any other. Violets aren't blue, Violets are violet, Is that so hard to do? I guess they chose blue just for a rhyme, Not lilies or lilac or the spice thyme, But "Violets are blue", is that such a crime? Whoever said it didn't have to use blue. There are other colors that rhyme, like green, But "Violets are blue"? that's just obscene.
