(correct answer here) They are indeed purple, But one thing you've missed; The concept of 'purple' didn't always exist. Some cultures lack names For color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his 'wine dark sea.' A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old For verses of romance Is sheer f#cking gold. So roses are red, Violets were once called blue, I'm hugely pedantic, But what else is new?
