Roses are red, violets are blue

Not up dated for you.

With my great powers of observation and web design, I failed to update the front page for about 13hrs yesterday and received some nice entries that had nothing to do with the competition I thought I was running!

Dang.

As a result we didn’t get the 100 entries I would have liked, but hey I partied in my own little way - I went to soccer training and hurt my lungs with some exercise.

Now that I can breathe again I’ve decided in my most humble tone, to release the winner for today and the runner-ups.

The first last placers.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
Most poems have rhymes,
This one doesn’t always even scan properly

Hey - you’ve still got #49 up!

Roses are red,
violets are blue
If only bad poems were strictly taboo.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Make the prize bigger,
you miserly Ed: removed!

Roses are red,
Daffodills are yellow
Clouds on a summer day
Puffy pieces of marshmallow

Redwoods are orange
Blueberries are purple
What’s the deal
With fooling the people?
Ed: I’m an idiot?

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
and neither of these smell like a big brown poo

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
and I just flushed both right down the loo

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
I just saw both when I went to Kakadu

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
if you’re mentally ill,
you may think this untrue

Ed: This one invalid but still worth putting in…
Roses are Red,
Violets are blue.
Whoever wrote this stupid little poem has forever misinformed all the children of the world by telling them that violets are blue when violets should be violet and therefore it sucks to be you.

The little prize for the day - a small humble dollar. The pride you feel when you win? Muchly.

Chuck is a proud man today - Chuck is a great man today. Chuck… enjoy your wonderful dollar. I’m pretty sure you won’t be spending it on anyone else but yourself!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
don’t think for a second that I’m going to give either to you!
