The Various Applications of Roses

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Your lips taste

Like fresh morning dew

Roses are red

Dripping with sin

Come little sweetheart

And please let me in

Roses are red

Covered in ash

My heart breaks apart

At your verbal bash

Roses are red

Crimson in hue

A lust they spark

Just thinking of you

And finally...

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

But it will ruin your teeth and it's before dinner so put that down and come help your poor mother set the table, will ya?
