If Violets were Red

If violets were red,
and the rose many shades of blue,
would the robin be fed...
and The Lord "tame the shrew"?

If the joker was trump...
and the spade never threw,
would the game be the same,
or does it matter to me and you?

If violets were red,
and roses so deep and blue,
would our words fall dead...
or simply declare something beautiful,
and new?

I've always pondered the great mysteries -
one of which is: "if violets were red, and roses blue"
