Blue

She wore blue velvet

And he had the blue suede shoes

Hes blue cause their through

This little boy blew his horn

What ever happened to pink?

I really liked the girl and boy lines, two of the most popular blue clothing items, the blue suede shoes and the blue velvet. Good luck in the contest, sweetie. And I enjoyed hearing about your doggie. I miss the one I used to have. LUv, Andrea
