"Roses are red" is a poem that's become an exploitable rhyming template. It's useful in basically every situation, since few people even bother to make it rhyme with the punch line. Some of them can be pretty hilarious, and we've chosen some of our favorites to share with you, since some of us need a little pick-me-up before Valentine's Day. Yes, the holiday is here once again, and it's time to celebrate (or avoid celebrating). Some of us love it, some of us hate it, and so many of us are too single to form an opinion.

We could use memes now more than ever. So whatever your Valentine's Day plans are (like hoarding sale chocolate from Walgreens the day after and then falling asleep while sobbing in a pile of discarded candy wrappers), you'll appreciate these memes before the big day is here. The weekend before Valentine's Day can be a lonely one, so these awful takes on "Roses are red, violets are blue" might just help you feel a little better.
