Usually please state your OS and Python versions, what you expected to 
happen, what actually happened and the full traceback if applicable.  In 
this case I'd hazard a guess that as you're trying to print something 
that evaluates to false you're not likely to see much.  You can also 
remove the semicolons as they're simply not needed.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Most poems rhyme,
But this one doesn't.
