Analysis of Blue Ribbon
The body wore the ribbon with elegance . . .
Heroes wear the blue ribbon!
Her hair was tied up with a ribbon, and
she always has a ribbon in her hair.
His clothes were hanging in ribbons, and
he tore the sheets to ribbons.
The body wore the ribbon when
heroes wore the blue ribbon!
I love to seek . . . !
A long ribbon of white . . .
A long ribbon of red . . .
And, God bless, to wear a
brand-new, blue ribbon!
