To be fair, it's very difficult to make a romantic rhyming couplet if you're forced to end it with either 'hurlple' or 'curple'

    To make mistake even worse, those are not typical violets that were drawn there. Violets I have seen have asymmetrical flowers formed from five petals and their color is a shade of purple that is more on the blue side.

    Also, that vase? Yuk, the colours clash and with purple flowers too? WRONG.

    As I recall aren’t violets coloured, you know, violet?

    Also, you missed out hirple, meaning the small of the waist. Which actually is quite a useful one for a romantic rhyming couplet.
    As a point of note, the three colours that are traditionally viewed as having no rhyming English words all have both masculine and feminine rhymes. Feminine rhymes shouldn’t be too hard to find, but the word ‘chilver’ and the surname ‘Lorange’ (which I believe is also a European town?) should help you with the masculine rhymes.

  • You've probably heard the story about me marrying two 86-year old women. Don't believe it, it's just an old wives tale.

  • You know how ABBA reformed to support @ladygaga on tour? Seems she's getting tired of directing them around backstage: 'Bjorn! This way!'
