SOME keep the Sabbath snoozing abed, Ramona keeps it waking her sisters - It's necessary work, since they've got to get up, She makes sure that they can't resist her.
Some keep the Sabbath as lillies; Ramona's a dandelion fan, Since neither toiling nor spinning will do, She does the little jobs she can.
Eventually, the clan gets to Mass - Are blessed by the words and the songs - And instead of going to heaven at last, The Edmisten's are going all along.
I like the way she thinks ... :)

Aw, Tanita, you made my day. Atticus caught the Emily Dickinson foundation/allusion before I did -- you are shockingly clever!
