"Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

That's what they all say,

But it just isn't true

Roses are red,

And apples are, too.

But violets are violet.

Violets aren't blue.

Roses are red,

but Greenland isn't green.

A pinky isn't pink;

What does it all mean?

When we call something blue when it's NOT, we defile it.

But... what the hell... it's hard to rhyme violet."
