This is like trying to remember poetry to determine if a snake is venomous.

Is it red on black, friend of Jack? Red on black, you're dead Jack!? Black on red, right said Fred? Black on red, you're so dead!? Red on yellow kills a fellow! Or red on yellow, friendly fellow!?

I'm good at rhyming and bad at remembering things, so I'd just die.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
