Fun With Roses Are Red
When I saw Susan's cute little contest on the famous Roses are Red poem,
I went upstairs and said to Joe, "How would you finish this poem:
Roses are red
Violets are blue. . ." ?
(in case you don't know this famous little English poem, the actual finishing lines are "sugar is sweet/ and so are you")
Very quickly my husband gave me an ending that was a twist on the old poem's
lines. But I was proud of him for actually coming up with something, so I put it into Susan's contest. I wanted to see how my hubbie would do if he were to enter a contest
here!
(if you want to see it, it's the post I made before my Abracadabra poem)
Later I thought up a bunch of other endings. These are some I came up
with for
Roses are Red
Violets are blue:
1. Be my spicy meatball
and I'll be your Ragu.
2. your library book
is long overdue.
3. I'd tell you much more
but it's all Taboo.
4. Do you style your hair
with Dippity-Do?
5. Your cocker and my poodle
would make one great Cockapoo.
6. You tempt me like honey
tempts Winnie the Pooh.
7. I'll play you a love song
on my kazoo.
8. you'd make a good rooster
Cock a doodle do!
