Roses are red.  Violets are blue.  My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun.  A sadder and a wiser man, he rose the morrow morn.  I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.  Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock.  In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, poetry, poets and poems.  So, dare to eat a peach.
