Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

They are indeed purple,But one thing you’ve missed:The concept of “purple”Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack namesFor a color, you see.Hence good old HomerAnd his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint,A phrasing so old,For verses of romanceIs sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red.Violets once were called blue.I’m hugely pedanticBut what else is new?

My friend you’re not wrong
About Homer’s wine-ey sea!
Colours are a matter
Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux
And meanings they drift
But the word purple
You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple,
My friends, is old
And refers to a pigment
once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs
From the wine-dark sea
You make a dye:
Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome,
to wear purpura
was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’,
for clothes so fancy,
Entered English
By the ninth century
.

Why then are voilets
Not purple in song?
The dye from this mollusc,
known for so long

Is almost magenta;
More red than blue.
The concept of purple
is old, and yet new.

The dye is red,
So this might be true:
Roses are purple
And violets are blue
.

While this song makes me merry,Tyrian purple dyes many a hueFrom magenta to berryAnd a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic raceThe answer is staring you right in the face:Roses are red and violets are blueBecause nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

Hirple - To limp or walk awkwardly

Cirple - An old Scots word for the hindquarters of a horse

“Roses are red, violets are purple,

My boner for you has caused me to hirple.”



My, how romantic!

DYING. I AM DYING.

Those fake IG accounts that people make for their favorite characters are always SO FUNNY because you know that there’s no actual way that any of those characters would have the aesthetic ass layouts that tumblr white girls think they would. Steve Rogers wouldn’t have a pastel word pic that says “Miss You Even Though You’re Right Next to Me” he would have like 2 and a half blurry selfies and a pic of a cool bird that he saw that reminded him of Sam. That’s it.
