Roses Are Red

Roses are red
Tree bark is brown
I don't want to be killed 
By a murderous clown

Roses are red
Dragons blow fire
I really want
To live in the Shire

Roses are red
Darkness is dark
The wind moans and howls
While the crazy dog barks

Roses are red
So is blood
Once I slipped
And fell in some mud
