Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

Who thought of the old "Roses are Red, Violets are blue" rhyme?

Well, it's not really a rhyme but an easy way to make a rhyme. Where did this come from?

Just because people change the last 2 lines, doesn't mean that there isn't a standard version. You can see the standard version on Wikipedia.
