Violets

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
This is a myth,
But also half true.

Roses may be red,
But violets aren’t blue.
Violet requires red,
And some blue too.

Although it may rhyme,
It can’t possibly be true,
You just can’t make violet,
With only blue.

It may have been said,
But it’s not fully true.
Because roses are red,
but violets just aren’t blue.
