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.
