Violets are really purple.

“The rose is red, the violet's blue.”

Go ahead, use it,

no one will get you.

Sir Edmund Spense wrote it

and he’s long-gone dead,

entombed over 70 years,

it’s meant to be read!

Infringement of copyright is no joke,

so check your source, 

‘else be summoned, 

and they may enforce!
