Ribbonward Cordialis

Haikus

Who cut the red cloth?
I track the civic records
Importance is claimed

Overlapping pride
Dedication overlapping
Ribbon tracks the truth

Custodian works
To make sure the ribbon stays
In the correct book

One ribbon cut thrice
Every town claims it afresh
Fabric learns to lie

Measure length of gold
Three assertions clash today
Seals are jointly pressed

Gold satin captured
Log it in three registers
Flashbulbs blind the truth

Critical fabric
Three dedications alarm
A threat to the state
