Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

But it is all too much

Shantih shantih shantih

-T.S. Eliot

Roses are red

I have dropped my violets

Down the back of the oven

I’ll just reach in and get them.

-Sylvia Plath

Roses are red

Violets are blue.

But they all died

In World War One.

‘Roses are red,’ said Ron

-J.K. Rowling

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Lilium longiflorum or the ‘Easter Lily’ of Taiwan is white

I have schizotypal PD and don’t like the company of other people.

-Bill Oddie
