Roses and stuff


Roses are red
And violets are blue
So Valentine’s here yet again.
Time to write words
Featuring loved up lovebirds
Or commonly, a cock and a hen.

I walk on cloud nine
As I wait for the time
When my lover and I get together
But being lovebirds
Means I must use these words
As we’re literally birds of a feather

Opposites attract
Is sometimes a fact
But in my case that’s just not true
My reflection’s the same
And it will never change
And with that I’m cock-a-hoop

    Roses are red, Violets are blue, some poems rhyme, but this one doesn’t! 🙂

    God Bless!

      Ah, you see, VK, this blog may be random, but it’s educational as well! 😀 I’m glad you ask!
      Cock-a-hoop is an Olde English word, from around the mid 1600s, which means to be over the moon, joyous, jubilant, feeling really good.
      (I’ve actually only just discovered that it dates back to then, so information regarding my 1642 Quest still seems to be filtering through…!)
