Rosanna Rosannadanna; Peas on Earth

satire poem on the old Saturday Nite Live character Rosanna Rosannadanna

 

Rosanna Rosannadanna " Peas on Earth

Hi, I'm Rosanna Rosannadanna

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

I like this poem. We do need our vegies. She isn't all wrong. I miss that crazy lady who die before she could do so much more for laughter. A excellent poem.

There's also too much time spent arguing about Violins on Television, which I am for.

THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE AND I'M CERTAIN GILDA WOULD HAVE APPROVED. Great write!

This is funny Dave, really enjoyed reading it. I dont really watch Saturday Night Live, but think I would have enoyed this piece if I had. lol
Yes we all need peace (peas) in our life

This is so cute, i enjoyed this read.

This is funny, yet meaningful...both vegetables and peace are very important in this world, we can't be happy and healthy without them both. This would be very funny acted out.

I never watch this show, so don't know her
or her character background, but this is cute;
except for the okra part - yuk! lol
I hope it's something we all find, too!
