A Valentine For You
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Wait,
Violets are really more purple
that's why they're called "Violet",
right?
And come to think of it Roses are pink
and sometimes white and yellow
and
peach
and purple!
No!!
I thought Violets are purple!
My mother's maiden name is
Violett
but with two Ts at the end.
I think it's French,
but we're Scottish and Irish and
English
and
German,
and what about the German Violet.
It sometimes blooms white and lavender,
but isn't it better known as the
Persian Violet.
Then there's the African Violet
and the New Guinea Violet,
no
that's an Impatiens,
scratch that last one.
Stop!!
I'm getting a headache.
What
was
this
about
anyway?
Oh,
Roses are red white yellow peach purple,
Violets are blue white lavender and spelled with two Ts
(sometimes)
It doesn't sound quite right anymore.
Oh
well,
you get the idea.
Have a wonderful loving Valenttine's Day!! (with two TTs)
