"rosanna" poems

"That there Is'belle's house stinks wunderful turr'ble,"croaked Emma Beiler at their quilting bee.
"Jah...vell," sighed Rosanna Yoder. "All them there katzes , ain't so?"
Accordingly the two ladies set out to pay Travis and Isabella Salter a visit, only to be politely told that they had were in the process of taking some cats to a local shelter.
Two weeks passed and to the Amish folks' disgust the odour had merely intensified.
"Them there Englisch are chust liars!" Potato Sam spat the words out along with a *** of chewing tobacco.
" Ach, vell," sighed his wife Rosanna, unaware of her heavily sweating underarms. The Ordnung strictly forbade deodorant as well as perfume. "Reckon I best mosey over and see fur myself."
Travis opened the door with a tired sigh.
'Chust thought I'de ask vhat fur stinks yer house up so vonderful tur'ble...Izzy tells us youse gettin' rid of them but-"
A puzzled look crossed Travis weary face as he glanced toward the kitchen. Irritation gripped him, not lessened as Rosanna glowered at Tabby washing her face on the couch. Then a waft of a familiar scent, overpowering, drifted toward him from the kitchen. Brussel sprouts enhanced by -.
With all the stress, Isabelle was increasing her calming herbs, mixing the powders.... Valerian?
"Good evening, Mrs. Yoder." He motioned her toward the door, locking it firmly behind her. For a long time after she was gone he stood staring out the window.

Rosanna Roseannadanna – Peas on Earth
Hi, I'm Rosanna Roseannadanna
and I've got a complaint to make
I'm all for a good balanced meal
and all the vitamins you take
now I like my veggies
like them an awful lot
but think you should try different ones
not just the ones you got
like I'm always hearing someone say
why can't we just have Peas on Earth
I don't think that's fair at all
need other ones too to help control your girth
I mean what's wrong with yellow corn
and what about string beans too
they're chunk full of nutrients
and they taste real good in stew
you can put asparagus on a plate
cover it up with butter
even okra would be alright
do you think I stutter
I mean I just don't understand it
why is all about Peas
everywhere I go I hear
let's get down on our knees
and bow our heads in silent prayer
and make these special pleas
but I want something else
it's not just about these dam Peas
it just goes to show you
it's always something you see
people need to understand
it's not just only me
*excuse me Rosanna,
I think you have it wrong
it's Peace, Peace on Earth
they've been talkin about all along*
well then that's different
just you never mind
Peace is a real good thing
I hope it's something we find
