Blue Ribbon

Odysseas Christos Zografos

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!
