The first part of me:
Apparently, I’m very lovely… but I’m also dangerous.
If you try to hug me, you may be pricked.
Don’t make me blush – I’m red enough.

But I’m also as pale as a ghost.
And yellow as the sun.

The second part of me:
Bloody? Me? Well, yes.
But that was a long time ago.
At least I wasn’t like my father!
I am going to have mutton for dinner.
This livestock is really getting on my nerves.
