adjective1 = raw_input("Tell me an adjective, and click enter. ")
noun1 = raw_input("Tell me a noun (plural), and click enter. ")
noun2 = raw_input("Tell me another noun, and click enter. ")
adjective2 = raw_input("Tell me an another adjective, and click enter. ")

print "Roses are " + adjective1
print noun1 + " are blue"
print noun2 + " is " + adjective2
print "And so are you!"

3. Click the green "play" arrow and play your game in the lower-right corner.
