We are all familiar with the rhyme,
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
..........
followed by infinite variety of bollocks.
For example,
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
I've got Alzheimer's
how about you?
It struck me that this was rather truncated.
Snowdrops
Roses and more
Roses
are red,
Violets
are blue,
isn’t
there more,
to this
poem for you?
Snowdrops
are white,
Camellias
are red,
two colours
together,
saying
Winter is dead.
Crocuses
purple,
and daffodils
yellow,
time
for the young year’s
temperatures
to mellow.
Tulips
are pink,
Hyacinths
are mauve,
Signalling
joy
and a
perfect love.
Freesias
are purple,
Pansies
are yellow,
trusting
and innocence,
will
have happiness grow.
Primroses
are pale,
Hyacinths
are dark,
springtime
is here,
great
time for a lark.

I know it is not a silly rhyme but these type don't always have to be, they can be hopeful.
God Bless
