Farcus by David Waisglass and Gordon Coulthart for May 15, 2019

…I want some red roses for a blue lady, Mr. florist take my order please…

“I want them red with little white dots.”

Depends on which state you’re from

Painting the roses red

We’re painting the roses red

We dare not stop

Or waste a drop

So let the paint be spread

We’re painting the roses red

We’re painting the roses red…..

Hate to say it, but there’s no joke here. See https://homeguides.sfgate.com/flowers-colored-artificially-67493.html.

Maybe purple?
