7->''"Roses are red,\
8Violets are blue,\
9Sugar is sweet;\
10And so are you."''
11
12This is the stereotypical poem. Its origins are unknown, but may, according to Website/{{Wikipedia}}, be traced to these lines from Sir Edmund Spenser's ''Literature/TheFaerieQueene'':
13
14->''"It was upon a Sommers shynie day,\
15When Titan faire his beames did display,\
16In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,\
17She bath'd her brest, the boyling heat t'allay;\
18She bath'd with '''roses red, and violets blew''',\
19And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew."''
20
21"Blew" is an old spelling of "blue". Both roses and violets exist in varieties of many colours. ''Viola sororia'' and ''Viola odorata'' are the bluest violets; red roses are hybrid teas of the genus ''Rosa''.
22
23It has [[DeadHorseTrope often been parodied]].
