Check out different versions of 'Roses are red' below:
Roses are red,
But that's not quite true,
They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum,
*Except* for that hue.

Doctor's version of the song:
Roses are red
Violets are lovely
The fastest way to anyone’s heart
Is a left lateral thoracotomy #medicalvalentine

What would you prefer?
Roses are red,
But who cares about flowers
When life goes by so fast
I'd rather have hours.

TRU DAT!
Roses are red,
Violets aren't blue.
They are violet.
