Roses are red, violets are blue… You know how the story goes. For many years, this poem was the most standard, “didn’t want to think twice” inscription on any card, from Valentine’s to “get well” cards. Then one day, the internet came, and we all know what the internet does to things. They either disappear into oblivion or live long enough to become memes. Luckily for the “roses are red violets are blue” poems — and for us! — they were destined to walk a second path.
Speaking of long life, did you know that the “roses are red violets are blue” original poem can be traced as far back as 1590? It belongs to English poet Edmund Spencer, and was a part of his epic The Faerie Queene. Since then, it was modified several times until acquiring the form that we know. Today they have come a long way from funny Valentine’s poems to a way of just having fun and even making social commentary online, and in some cases, just being silly mean poems.
For this article, we have collected some of the funniest “roses are red” poems the internet has to offer. Upvote your favorite ones, and if you have any “roses are red violets are blue” jokes and poems you would like to share with us, guess what —

Pizza sauce is too,
I ordered a large one,
I’m not sharing with you."

Soda comes in liters,
A trebuchet is a mechanism that can launch a 90kg projectile over 300 meters."

Thor is fat,
The god of thunder ends up playing Fortnite,
And roasting children on voice chat."

"Roses are red, Violets are blue,
That's what they say, but it just isn't true,
Roses are red, and apples are too,
But violets are violet, violets aren't blue,
An orange is orange, but Greenland's not green,
And pinkies aren't pink, what does it mean?
To say something's blue when it isn't, defiles it,
But oh, what the hell, it's hard to rhyme "violet"."
