--
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you.
Not all roses are red, of course, so that is a non-issue. But violets? Why would something that is blue be called a violet? That verse must have been written by a man. As it turns out, it probably was. The earliest known version of this nursery rhyme was by the English poet Edmund Spenser in 1590.
