An extended libertarian version (shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by Martin Hartmann on November 5, 2020:
 
“ROSES ARE RED.
VIOLETS ARE BLUE.
I OWN ME.
YOU OWN YOU.
OH…AND THE GOVERNMENT IS A BIG FAT
ILLEGITIMATE AND OUTDATED CONTROL
STRUCTURE BUILT ON THEFT, COERCION AND
VIOLENCE AND WILL NEVER BE FIXED BY
VOTING IN THE RIGHT PEOPLE. NOT EVER.”
