The Tragic Valentines of William Shakespeare:
Hamlet
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
To be? Not to be?
Which one should I do?
In thy orisons be all my sins remembered, valentine!
Cordelia
Daisies are pressed
Under a shoe,
Words can’t express
My love for you.
Lord M*****h
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Is this a dagger
That points me to you?
Shylock
Your blood is red,
My blood is too,
If you prick me, I bleed
Exactly like you.
The Weyard Sisters
Swamp grass is tall, toadstools are cute,
The recipe calls for more eye of newt.
I’ll meet you in thunder, lightning, or in rain, valentine!
Othello
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Trust you almost as much
As some guy on my crew.
Romeo
Roses are cut.
We have to set limits:
I’ll die for you, but
I won’t wait five minutes.
