Much Ado About Nothing - Paul Werstine, Barbara A. Mowat, William Shakespeare

Roses are red, violets are blue;
Shakespeare nailed it without Much Ado.

(Well, OK, this is more of a tribute to all of the Bard's works, not just one, but among his comedies, Much Ado About Nothing really has emerged as my firm favorite in the past 20 years or so.)

Task: Write your own “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue” poem for one of your favorite or most hated books of all time.
