Roses are red
Violets aren't that blue
Sugar gives you cavities
Not sure what else to do

Summer is hot and sticky
Winter is cold; it sucks
Vegetables are oh so icky
All these things are true

My poem may not be a good one
Hey, at least I tried
I'm waiting till my class is done
To get home I need a ride.
