“Roses are red. Chocolates are brown. You’re getting neither, so calm the fuck down” and “Roses are red. Chocolates are brown. You’re not getting either, so calm the fuck down” are variations on the “Roses are red, violets are blue…” poem. “Roses are red. Chocolates are brown. I expect nothing, and I’m still let down” and “Roses are red. Chocolates are brown. I expected nothing, but you still let me down” are other variations.
